Package: src:elvish
Version: 0.15.0~rc3-1
Control: affects -1 src:rust-sequoia-sq src:rust-sequoia-sqv

I'm packaging a few rust binaries built using the "clap" crate, which
auto-generates completion files for bash, fish, zsh, elvish, and
powershell.

I know how to ship the bash, fish, and zsh tab completion directives.
But i don't know how to ship the elvish tab completion directives, or
how to test that they work as expected.  i'm including an example sq.elv
that is produced by the rust-sequoia-sq package when it's built, for
reference.

It would be great if we could document in the elvish source package
debian/ directory at least (or even better, in the binary package, in
/usr/share/doc/elvish).

If it's already documented someplace and i'm just unaware, feel free to
close this report with a pointer to the right location!

Thanks for maintaining elvish in debian!

OK, thanks for the heads-up!

When you know where the global completion files are likely to be looked
for (even if the upstream version is not released yet), please follow up
on this ticket.  That way, we can ship the files in the right place in
debian, and when elvish gains that capability, there will already be
some completion files available.

(also, if there's a known place to ship .elv files, then elvish users in
the meantime can copy them into wherever their local completion files
are supposed to go, right?)

All the best,

    --dkg
