Bash autocompletion with configure scripts

hi, with Ubuntu I get automatic completion ( with bash ) while dealing with ./configure scripts too, currently this feature doesn't work doesn't work on my Arch, do I need something extra ?

The installation of the package bash-completion doesn't solve the issue and I can't find a related article on the Archlinux wiki .

Re: Bash autocompletion with configure scripts

Welcome to Arch Linux.  It has been a while since my last install.  Have you tried logging out and back in again?

yep, I have already used Arch for a while, I noticed the lack of this feature only today because I need to build something from source .

Compare Ubuntu's and Arch's bash completion implementations, and post a feature request on the bugtracker if necessary.
