I decided to try out zsh (I'm bash user) and got simple but ugly problem with setup. After several hours fscking around I have created usable configuration (/etc/profile.all included by both /etc/profile and /etc/zsh/zprofile) but it's still dirty. I'd like to suggest to move to smth more modular and universal, so it'll be necessary only to enable modules in profiles (modules itself can be provided by baselayout (common) and be shell-specific). Zsh's prompt themes structure is more-less OK example. That's not so important for the one-user system, but will be very7 helpfull for 100-user...
whats wrong with the standard profile and zsh
For example PROMPT_COMMAND (for setting xterm title)...
i dont see how PROMPT_COMMAND matters in this case zsh supports the standard PS[1-4] if you want shell-specific support, add it to the shell-specific profile
I'm not talking about prompt, I'm talking about xterm's title bar. Take a look at apache configs - I prefer gentoo way than one monolith httpd.conf. The same here...
in that case how is PROMPT_COMMAND shell specific ;) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 38381 ***
