System installation (opt-in)

By default the package builds Zsh into $ZPFX and does not touch the system shell. To also replace /bin/zsh, set ZSH_INSTALL_SYSTEM=1 when installing. The original is backed up to /bin/zsh.bkp; if that backup already exists, the system replacement step fails instead of overwriting it:

ZSH_INSTALL_SYSTEM=1 zi pack for zsh

Default Profile

The ZI command that runs for the default profile is generated from scripts/build-manifest.py and mirrored in package.json.

In short, the default profile:

• runs ./.preconfig, then ./configure --prefix="$ZPFX"
• uses LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib"
• runs make install when yodl is available, otherwise falls back to make install.bin install.fns install.modules
• installs into $ZPFX by default
• copies the built shell to /bin/zsh only when ZSH_INSTALL_SYSTEM=1 is set and /bin/zsh.bkp does not already exist

By default it never replaces /bin/zsh. System replacement requires:

ZSH_INSTALL_SYSTEM=1 zi pack for zsh

ZI Completions Control

Package: system-completions

Moves the stock Zsh completions under the control of ZI (optional)

zi pack for system-completions

# Utilize Turbo
zi wait pack for system-completions

# Utilize Turbo and initialize the completion system
zi wait pack atload=+"zicompinit; zicdreplay" for system-completions

Selectively enable and disable the completions with cenable and cdisable.

This repository compatible with ZI

The zsh-users/zsh zsh package that uses the zsh-string-lib to automatically:

• get the plugin's Git repository OR release-package URL,
• get the list of the recommended ices for the plugin,
  • there can be multiple lists of ices,
  • the ice lists are stored in profiles; there's at least one profile, default,
  • the ices can be selectively overridden.
