[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#720707: RFP: grml-zsh-config -- zsh configuration that ships with the Debian-based grml distro

[Axel Beckert]

Control: retitle -1 ITP: grml-zshrc -- grml's zsh configuration
Control: owner -1 !

Hi Thomas,

this was a topic on the #grml IRC channel a few weeks ago, too, and
IIRC the grml team liked the idea in general.

There is actually already a year-old proof-of-concept package of
grml's zshrc at https://github.com/xtaran/grml-zshrc -- the current
implementation though needs some changes in the zsh package which
probably won't go in.

So the general design of such a package likely needs some more
thinking. But the plan to split of grml's zshrc into its won package
is there.

Not yet decided is how the zshrc will be provided. Several ideas are
around:

a) Active for all users when installed -- easy, but not so nice
b) Not active by default for anyone -- may not suite laptop users
c) Letting the admin via debconf decide if it's active for all or no
   users by default -- probably the friendliest way

		Regards, Axel
