and also simplify code by setting multiple variables at once. This
should make the resulting script a tiny bit smaller, while not
compromising on legibility.
and rename previous to git.
Tools allow for different install and update scripts. The git tool does
what the previous implementation did (installs and updates using the git
client). The new tool installs and updates with the GitHub API, not
using the git client, but using curl/wget and tar instead.
Closes#373
gunzip should not try to seek the stream, but an issue was reported
in #407, where it fails with
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
So we're writing to a file first just to be safer.
Fixes#407.
Last-minute minor fixes:
* Delete .latest_version after upgrading. Having a cache brings in these
complexities.
* Print warning to stderr, to distinguish it from the normal output.
* Update help to be in sync with the README.md.
so the normal output is focused on the given action, and output for
additional steps perfomed after the given action is only shown in
verbose mode.
Also, the output of wget is only shown in verbose mode. This is because
wget always shows some output (to stderr) even when there are no errors.

This should give a friendlier output.

Changes:
* Reduce the Zim "core" to a single file
* Simplify installation with an installation script (Closes#182)
* Put the configuration into .zshrc instead of a separate .zimrc
(Closes#288)
* Do not support themes that require promptinit (See #325)
* Generate a static script that does autoload the functions and source
the modules
This version is not backwards-compatible with previous versions, so a
new installation of Zim is required.
So we can have the following code in the zlogin template:
source ${ZIM_HOME}/login_init.zsh -q &!
instead of depending on the zimfw function there. This allows fixing the
issue were a non-interactive login shell currently yields:
command not found: zimfw.
To fully fix the issue, we also need a new zshenv template containing:
ZIM_HOME=${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim
Templates will be updated in the install script.
we want to be a universal Zsh framework, and send the message that
"less is less"! ;- )
Don't indent done and failed messages with an indicator, at the end of
actions, to differentiate them from intermediate okay and error messages.
to autoloads the functions and sources the scripts, instead of executing
zimfw during startup, and having it always figuring out what do to on
the fly.
This takes out the worry about zimfw interfering with the startup time,
and allows room to add more features to it. So, zstyle was replaced by a
custom zmodule function to define the modules, with the extra ability of
allowing users to set custom fpath paths, autoloaded functions and
sourced scripts per module.
Also moved the templates out of this repository, and into the
zimfw/install repo.
This is a second big change after introducing the plugin mechanism. This
makes installation and upgrading of Zim straightforward. Maybe the most
important aspect of having the script in a single file is not having to
manage "git repos inside git repos" (see #297), since the single file
exists by itself and is not version-controlled (with git).
I've implemented a two-stage sourcing of the file, so most of the file
is only sourced when needed (namely when calling `zimfw` with any action
other than `login-init`). The two-stage process is designed to avoid
compromising the startup speed, which is our top priority.
In an effort to help making the script maintainable, I've broken it into
small ERB templates. This also adds the ability to pre-process the Zsh
code with Ruby code. To build the script, use `make`.
