This is a major change, where Zsh modules/plugins are not git submodules
in the Zim repo anymore, but customized and installed separately as
individual repositories. The discussion about this started more than 2
years ago in #88. Closes#299.
This will allow contributors' modules to live in their own repositories.
See #33, #138, #262, #281, #324.
The current code has what, up to this point, I considered to be the best
balance between simplicity, execution speed and number of files.
One measured decision was to make the initialization of modules depend
only on the `':zim' modules` style, keeping it as fast as possible.
The `':zim:module' module` style is used to install, update and clean
the modules, all operations that happen after the user got his
as-blazing-fast-possible shell prompt.
Even though I didn't care much about making install or update fast,
`xargs` has a nice feature of allowing commands to be executed in
parallel with `-P`. I took advantage of that.
I've also worked on making the `zimfw` utility give the user some nice
(while still minimalistic) output. Also I'm suggesting this as the new
name for the `zmanage` tool, since `zimfw` does not shadow the `zim`
wiki tool.
Update installation instructions in README.md to use cat. Also add blank
lines at the end (instead of beginning) of template files, since they're
prepended (not appended) to existing files.
See difference of output between print and cat (zlogin having a blank
like at the end):
% print -rn "$(<zlogin)$(<test)"
#
# User configuration sourced by login shells
#
# Initialize zim
[[ -s ${ZIM_HOME}/login_init.zsh ]] && source ${ZIM_HOME}/login_init.zsh# Hello world
% cat zlogin test
#
# User configuration sourced by login shells
#
# Initialize zim
[[ -s ${ZIM_HOME}/login_init.zsh ]] && source ${ZIM_HOME}/login_init.zsh
# Hello world
Fixes#94. Fixes#280. Closes#300
This change allow arbitrary Zim location path by setting a new
environment variable, ZIM_HOME. If the user does not set it, Zim falls
back to the old "${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim" location.
Closes#203
