Hi there,
after some investigation, I couldn't find any reason why we didn't
append a slash in symlinked directories on tab name completion in the
shell. And yes, I could reproduce that behaviour when I used our bash
under BeOS as well.
As it turns out, readline has changed its tab completion behaviour
since some version. I'd like to ask if you're okay when I apply this
patch to the repository:
----------------------------------------
RCS file: /cvsroot/open-beos/current/src/apps/bin/bash/lib/readline/
complete.c,v
retrieving revision 1.1
diff -u -r1.1 complete.c
--- complete.c 7 Jun 2004 09:07:26 -0000 1.1
+++ complete.c 26 Jan 2005 01:05:03 -0000

readline-4.2a is disabled, and symlinks that point to directories
have
a slash appended (subject to the value of
_rl_complete_mark_directories).
This is user-settable via the mark-symlinked-directories variable.
*/
-int _rl_complete_mark_symlink_dirs = 0;
+int _rl_complete_mark_symlink_dirs = 1;
----------------------------------------
I am not entirely sure if this is the right place for the patch, but it
sure works. And I don't see any reason to adopt that new default
behaviour of readline for our shell since it's only confusing.
Bye,
Axel.
