pacman completion for fish (friendly interactive shell)

I have written the completion definitions of pacman for fish (http://fishshell.org).

You need to install a new function somewhere in your fish_function_path. The function has a general purpose and you can find it here:
http://www.patroclo7.org/archlinux/fish … n_opt.fish

The completion should be installed somewhere in your fish_complete_path:
http://www.patroclo7.org/archlinux/fish/pacman.fish

Since the policy of fish is to include all the completions in the upstream tarball, I have committed these two files for upstream inclusion. In the meantime (till the next release of fish, but not before tomorrow) there will be a fish-pacman in the AUR.

Comments and corrections more than welcome.

Re: pacman completion for fish (friendly interactive shell)

Yes, however they should be updated for the latest pacman release (just the newest options are not completed). But I have no time for this atm. If someone has time to send a simple patch but does not feel like sending a darcs patch to the fish mailing list, I can help with this last step, just email me. Otherwise you should wait a bit
