[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#776663: zsh-common: Wish for /etc/zsh/zprofile.d or equivalent

[Tim Booth]

Package: zsh-common
Version: 5.0.2-3ubuntu6
Severity: wishlist

This is a request on behalf of Bio-Linux and the Debian Med developers.
The attached file shows the zshrc used on Bio-Linux, and the part we'd really
like to see in the standard zsh-common package is support for a zprofile.d configuration
directory to mirror /etc/profile.d which is read by BASH and allows
packages to drop config fragments into the shell profile.

In Bio-Linux this is hooked from zshrc but actually a modified zprofile
probably makes more sense.

This is pretty trivial to implement, as far as I can see.  What do you think?

Cheers,

TIM
