Missing wget2 bash autocomplete file

Open FilipeBento opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I have just compiled and installed wget2 on Ubuntu WSL2. I am missing a wget2 auto-complete file, so I am unable to write

user@ubuntu$ wget2 --<TAB> and check all the available flags. I know I can check the man page, but having an autocomplete file would be a great quality-of-life improvement. I don't have enough knowledge to build one.

My apologies if I missed something in the process.

(... and thank you for all your work!)

Ideally, open an issue for the Ubuntu/Debian package. They have auto-completion for wget 1.x, so it shouldn't be a big thing.

Thank you for your answer. I will. However, if I understand correctly, the ubuntu package (in apt) seems to have a much older version, 1.99.1. If they generate the auto-completion for that version, maybe they will miss all the changes to the flags between that version and the latest one, 2.1.0.

Hm, it possibly doesn't make much sense for the old version. But let the packagers decide.
