[Pkg-zsh-devel] state of RFP: grml-zsh-config?

[Frank Terbeck]

Hi,

Disclaimer: Even though I am involved with grml's setup a great deal, I
    never was a big fan of packaging it up for Debian. The reason for
    that being mainly, that I am absolutely convinced that a vendor
    should impose the least possible changes to a package as possible
    and most certainly not impose a bunch of settings for every user on
    a system.

That being said, I just realised that there is actually nothing at all
missing for such a package. Zsh code like grml's setup doesn't belong to
/etc anyway. We could probably distribute it somewhere in /usr/share/zsh.

Then users who want the setup can just

  source /usr/share/zsh/cfg/grml-zshrc

and be done. We could even package a byte-compiled version of the setup.

I am still firmly against anything that would enable the setup per
default for everyone on a system.
