Description Peter Robinson 2017-05-31 08:48:07 UTC 
bash-completion ships pkgconfig and cmake files in the main bash-completion package.

It's not clear they do anything as part of the core functionality but as a result (in partiicular the bash-completion.pc) the package pulls in other dependencies which in a lot of usecases superfluous to requirements.

Is there a reason they're not in a -devel package?
Comment 1 Yanko Kaneti 2017-05-31 09:54:06 UTC 
See bug 1324593 - WONTFIXed
Not sure if any of the circumstances around it have changed since then
Comment 2 Peter Robinson 2017-05-31 10:54:29 UTC 
I only see yum-utils mentioned there and it's no longer default or shipped.
Comment 3 Jan Kurik 2017-08-15 06:36:33 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 27 development cycle.
Changing version to '27'.
Comment 4 Peter Robinson 2018-05-20 10:15:18 UTC 
Still an issue

Perhaps this should have been coordinated with the impacted packages.

Comment 9 Miro Hrončok 2024-02-20 15:18:37 UTC 
And those are just packages that invoke it directly in the spec. There are others that will fail with cryptic errors like:

RPM build errors:
    File not found: /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/libstoragemgmt-1.9.8-6.fc41.x86_64/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/lsmcli
Comment 10 Miro Hrončok 2024-03-18 17:30:43 UTC 
This is now also on the devel list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/NG6HV2FGKWTWKXVQXR6DWCELU4ZELX5Z/
