Structurally I think this looks fine. I'm occassionally alarmed that we need a hierarchy this deep, but the idea is that it condenses somewhat upon installation, right?

There are advantages either way. } - Bart didn't like `Core', right? Any suggestions? Right. Perhaps "Kernel"? "System"? } - Should it be `Utilities' instead of `Utils'? Probably. Actually I think they should all be singular e.g. "Utility". (Cf. "Util" et al.; too bad about "Functions" and "StartupFiles" [*].) } - There must be a better name than `Types', too... "Flavor"? "Class"? } - Should `Unix' be `Generic' or some such? I think "Unix" is OK. Amol D. or the Cygwin folks may have something to say about how generic those are, after all. } - Somehow I like the distinction between `Zsh' and `Unix', makes even } those function be (hopefully reasonably) grouped. I agree. } - For some functions I wasn't completely sure where to put them... I know ... } Oh, and does anyone have a list of places that need changing? The only ones I can find with a grep are: Completion/Core/compinit Completion/Core/compinstall Doc/Zsh/compsys.yo Doc/Zsh/compsys.yo INSTALL configure.in } And finally: what is the easiest way to make these changes in the CVS } repository? Is there really no simpler way than using `cvs add' and } `cvs remove'? There's no way using :pserver:, but since we have shell access to the repository ... If we can impose a moritorium on commits for a while, we can simply copy the ,v files to new directories in the repository, and then "cvs remove" the originals. (We could use mv rather than cp, but that messes up the "cvs update" of people's existing checked-out sandboxes. The only way to make checked-out copies go away cleanly is to "cvs remove"/commit.) } So, any comments? Suggestions? Opinions? [*] On the subject of renaming, I've never liked "StartupFiles". It misleads people who don't read carefully into copying those files into /etc (I recognize parts of RedHat's distributed /etc/z* in our samples). And those samples still refer to zsh 2.7, which never even existed!! Those files should be touched up and the directory renamed (perhaps to "Samples"). -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
