[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#632140: zsh: Completion for aptitude format strings

[Daniel Bolton]

Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.12-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


I've modified the _aptitude compdef file to provide a useful completion list
for the various %-escaped strings that are passable to the -F or
--display-format option. The patch is included; it is also available on my
GitHub:
