Other Packages
==============
This distribution includes, in examples/bash-completion, a recent version
of the `bash-completion' package, which provides programmable completions
for a number of commands. It's available as a package in many distributions,
and that is the first place from which to obtain it. If it's not a package
from your vendor, you may install the included version.
The latest version of bash-completion is always available from
https://github.com/scop/bash-completion.
Enjoy!
