The PKGBUILD and .install file still contain references to the user's
home directory (for the latter, it's only a harmless message in
post_install, but the information is wrong).
After taking a closer look at oh-my-zsh, I'm not sure if it's a good
candidate for a package. I find the manual installation instructions
at https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh#readme to be very
intuitive and easy to follow, and at the same time providing the user
with complete control over what's happening.
Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way, but having a package which is a
snapshot of the Git repository isn't much better -- and is probably
worse -- than each user keeping a Git clone in their home directories.
You do make a good point on the matter. The manual instructions at
https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh#readme are easy to follow
without really needing a PKGBUILD. Originally, using the manual
instructions was how I went about using oh-my-zsh. This was a very
smooth process.
I'm going to have to agree with you here since your point makes absolute
sense. Since the installation is so straight forward, it does seem best
to give the user control with oh-my-zsh instead of using a PKGBUILD
which only seems to add an unnecessary step.
With that said, I can agree that oh-my-zsh does not make a good
candidate for a package. I do appreciate and thank you for your time and
input with this.
Cheers,
