I have the same problem, and discussed this with haubi too. Seems like
nobody looks at the ~/.bash-completion.d/* files. Have you got bashcomp
emerged? I think this adds a script to profile.d which sources those,
but i'm not sure.

I'm no bash "interactive" user, so I have no clue how this is supposed
to work. It feels pretty much like you have to do some magic in your
own ~/.bash_rc, or mess with your "global" config, as in:

Ok, finally i got it to work attached is a small patch. The whole
thing was not ready for prefix at all.... I'm not sure if the
eprefixify's in the ebuild are in the correct position... At least
things work then for me with this:

emerge bash-completion
eselect bashcomp enable base
eselect bashcomp enable svn

Gives nice bashcomp for svn for me

Yea, I figured it wasn't ready for prefix but I couldn't quite get it
working. Thanks for the patch! I'll try it out soon.

I'm slightly confused about how gentoo handles bash completion in
general. I was talking about eselect w/ USE=bashcomp and mduft patched
app-shells/bash-completion which is masked due to "Masked for
testing new enablement via eselect"

What is the correct method now-a-days?

Ah, sorry for the noise. It just kinda clicked now about thats masked
for testing does not exactly mean broken. Just alittle ambiguity there
that didn't make sense.

I'm going with the approach that bash completion via eselect needs the
bash-completion package..Not sure if that is accurate or not. Anyway
bash-completion confuses something with my shell and I will need to
look into it more.
