I see a lot of the same patterns used in Portfiles to install bash/zsh
tab-completion. Would it not be better to have a keyword that could
perform this functionality so that you just have to specify where the
items are within the package. For example, something like:
{{{
bash_completion ${worksrcpath}/scripts/shell_completions/bash/borg
zsh_completion ${worksrcpath}/scripts/shell_completions/zsh/_borg
}}}
Instead of:
{{{
post-destroot {
set bash_compl_path ${prefix}/share/bash-completion/completions
xinstall -d ${destroot}${bash_compl_path}
xinstall -m 0644 ${worksrcpath}/scripts/shell_completions/bash/borg \
${destroot}${bash_compl_path}
set zsh_compl_path ${prefix}/share/zsh/site-functions
xinstall -d ${destroot}${zsh_compl_path}
xinstall -m 0644 ${worksrcpath}/scripts/shell_completions/zsh/_borg \
${destroot}${zsh_compl_path}
}
}}}
For bash completions, there is the complication of whether the file should
be installed to ${prefix}/share/bash-completion/completions/ or
${prefix}/etc/bash_completion.d/, but this could be solved by using a
bash_completion_compat keyword for the latter case.
On the rare occasions where setting this up is more involved, the longer
method could still be used.
