Installing completions with ppa package
I am having troubles installing completions scripts with packages posted to my ppa. I have been able to successfully use either dh_bash-completion or the data_files parameter in my setup.py file to install my completions file to the expected /usr/share/
Is there something I am missing about this process? Is there an easier way to get completions to install alongside a package? Also, it is interesting to me that installing completions in either of the ways that I have listed requires restarting the terminal before they take effect. This seems counterintuitive. Is there to install the completions and have them take effect immediately when installing a package through a ppa?
Thanks so much in advance for any help.

Testing with debuild locally isn't a very reliable way to test, because it's extremely easy to miss build-dependencies or otherwise have an unclean build environment. We normally recommend people test with sbuild (see https:/
The problem you have is that debian/
We can't help you with your question about having completions take effect immediately, whether through a PPA or any other similar packaging mechanism. My guess is that you'd need to direct that completion to the bash-completion developers.
Many thanks! This fixed it for me. Greatly appreciate the help.
