Agreed. And people who have platform-dependent completion functions
they want to add might want to start thinking about the final
directory layout... ;-)

You might want to update the date stamp to the right of the `News'
link on the main page too.

There's no need to write this; just link to
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=4068
like I've done from my page (the accuracy of which, incidentally, I'm
maintaining reasonably regularly).

No objection from me; you could include my .zshrc if you want, which
is always at:
http://www.new.ox.ac.uk/~adam/computing/zsh/files/.zshrc
You could also include a link to my zsh page
http://www.new.ox.ac.uk/~adam/computing/zsh/
under `Useful links', although I'm beginning to sound like an
egocentric maniac, so never let it be said I forced you into it ;-)

Yes. It doesn't have to be one line, but brief is good.

Yes, we could. Mirroring via rsync would be best, if it's possible.

Personally I really like the `out-of-the-box-ness' of the new
completion system, and would like to see that continue as much as
possible. We already have a few platform-specific completions, and
adding more are hardly doing any harm.

Exactly.

I'm not too keen on the `Distribution' section. When I was first
looking for the downloads bit, my eye completely missed this. Could
we change it to `Downloads', with sub-headings as `Mirrors' and
`Mirror contents' respectively?

Right I'm now in business with the main web pages. Thanks Karsten - it
now works after that second fix.
I've added a new news item about the SourceForge move. Now that I look
at it again, I'm not sure that I worded it as well as I might have done
but never mind. Peter: is your e-mail address on the about page
out-of-date; zsh@sunsite.auc.dk is also forwarding to ifh - atleast
according to the list Karsten sent me when he first added me)? I think
we should add a page describing how to get at the CVS stuff. I was going
to base it on the thing Adam wrote around the end of last year(?)
updated for SourceForge but if anyone thinks they can do a good job of
it (until recently I knew nothing about cvs) then please do. I'm not
sure where the CVS would fit under the main headings.
The Contributions page could probably have a few additions. I'll trawl
through the mailing list archives when I get time for any suitable
scripts. Does anyone object to me adding scripts that they posted under
their name on the page?
When I commited the couple of changes to CVS, I was prompted for some
text. I gave it a one-line description of the change I made is this what
I was supposed to do?
Does anyone know if we can use the sourceforge web area as a mirror of
the main pages with them automatically updated using cron or whatever?
We could probably do with a few examples of ZLE widgets. Those in the
main archive are all fairly complicated and aren't the best place to
start someone off. I have a few simple widgets - for example:
copy-last-word() {
setopt localoptions noksharrays
local words
words=( "${=LBUFFER}" )
if [[ $LASTWIDGET = copy-last-word ]] && (( clwcount > -$#words ));
then
(( clwcount-- ))
else
(( clwcount=-2 ))
fi
LBUFFER="${LBUFFER%$words[-1]}$words[clwcount]"
}
This is like copy-prev-word but doesn't take the current unfinished word
and cycles through the previous words.
Where should this sort of thing be - in the distribution, on the web
page or in /dev/null? Does anyone else have any widgets they would like
to share?
I also have a number of AIX and IRIX specific completions as well as
some which are specific to particular commercial applications (e.g.
Rational Apex). Where should this sort of thing go?
I think we ought to have some way of sharing such things but there
should probably be a limit as to what goes into the main zsh
distribution. Can we have separate CVS distributions on SourceForge.
Maybe we should have a separately maintained package for miscellanous
completions. Despite saying that I'm not very convinced myself that it
would be a good idea. I always hate it when I come to download a program
and find that I need 15 separate libraries and macro packages.
Don't be suprised if I seem to be a bit inactive on the web pages over
the coming few weeks but I over the longer term, I hope that won't be
the case - I'm away for the coming weekends and have a holiday in the US
coming up. My one account on a Linux box on the internet may disappear
soon (and with it the host I ran cvs from) though I will have access
from home soon. Am I likely to cause problems (messing up file
permissions etc) by running cvs from a win32 machine as a temporary
measure?
If anyone has any suggestions related to the web pages then please speak
up.
