Description Paul Eggleton 2015-11-07 23:55:29 UTC 
It would be nice if we could have bash completion enabled for scripts (in particular devtool, recipetool, bitbake-layers and oe-pkgdata-util).

Probably the easiest way would be to use argcomplete:

https://argcomplete.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

It looks like we should be able to pull this into bitbake and set up the completion within the environment setup script.

Finally we'd want this to work within the extensible SDK given that devtool is available there also.

I remember talking about this with Saul about a year ago.
