Hi all,

From what I read in the past on the mailing list it looks like
most newcomers to Zsh don't know about the Git repository, so I
thought maybe we could add it to the homepage.

Replace the "CVS" with "CVS / Git" and just specify the Git
repository URL there.

We could also add this to the FAQ:

diff --git a/Doc/Zsh/metafaq.yo b/Doc/Zsh/metafaq.yo
index fa856a9..29279cb 100644

If someone can write a variant of the page

http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Arc/cvs.html

that does essentially the same thing for Git I will add it (or anyone with
CVS access should also now have access to the web site by rsync).

Attached is a version for Git. I don't know how this file is
generated so I just modified the HTML.

I found some problems with the links on both pages though, the
daily snapshots don't work, the yodl link also doesn't work.

While we're at it, could the News page get updated to include the
latest release? For someone visiting the page it looks like Zsh
wasn't updated in two years. And maybe a direct link to the Zsh
sources could also get added, I couldn't find one when I was
checking the cvs.html links.

Thanks,
Simon

<p>
Additionally to the main CVS repository there is also a Git mirror available,
also hosted by <a href="http://sourceforge.net/">SourceForge</a>. To clone
the repository use the following command.
<p>
<tt>git clone git://zsh.git.sf.net/gitroot/zsh/zsh</tt>
<p>
You can also browse the repository online through
<a href="http://zsh.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=zsh/zsh">gitweb</a>.
<p>
To build it, you will need to run <tt>Util/preconfig</tt> to build the
configure script. This requires that you have a copy of
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/autoconf.html">autoconf</a>
installed. Documentation is pre-built for the releases so unless you have
<a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~jantien/yodl/">Yodl</a> installed builds
from Git sources will fail when they come to build documentation. This is
after zsh itself has been built so don't let that error worry you.

<p>
The master branch contains the current development.
<p>
Be aware that if you obtain your copy of Zsh in any of the ways described on
this page, it is likely to contain many more bugs than the official releases. If
you're not interested in having the very latest features and just want to get on
with some real work get the latest stable release.

It would appear nobody's maintaining this.

Yodl 1 is hard to come by and there were some problems with Yodl 2, but
I've rewritten it.

Nobody's maintaining this, either.  Please could someone volunteer at
least to keep track of major events here.

Thanks for your quick reply and fix.

If you could tell me where the source code of the web page is
located, I could keep the news up to date. And also fix some
broken links.

Ah, we have yodl 1 in the Zsh FTP sites and mirrors.
See the pub/GPL/ directory.

Thanks.

It's on Sourceforge, so if you have an account there I can add you in the
appropriate places.

Then you use rsync; for example to get the entire hierarchy into the
current directory,

  rsync -aiv <user>,zsh@web.sourceforge.net:htdocs .

and appropriate variants for anything else.

I think the CVS directories are from the old sunsite.dk site and aren't
useful any more (so just make files writeable if you need to change them).
I don't know if we have the corresponding CVS archive.
