Description
It would be nice to have a subport which supports the default macOS bash. I prefer to use the default bash to make sure scripts work on other systems. Homebrew currently does this by having two separate formulae, bash-completion & bash-completion@2. The last version compatible with bash 3.2 is bash-completion 1.3.

With Apple essentially deprecating bash in macOS Catalina, there won't be much need for this.

As a side note, you can still test scripts with
/bin/bash
regardless of the bash version you use as interactive shell. You are not forced to keep using bash 3.2 for this reason.bash-completion 1.3 is old and unmaintained. I see that it might be useful for some, therefore I am happy to apply a patch to provide a subport such as
bash-completion-legacy
orbash32-completion
. However, personally I see no point in providing ports without an upstream source that is actively working on bugfixes and improvements and will not work on this.
