Heya, first of all, I'm not the main hlwm developer (Thorsten), but I thought I'd also contribute my opinion. * Christopher Meng <cickumqt _at_ gmail _dot_ com> [2013-08-20 22:46:58 +0800]: > I have packaged this nice wm for Fedora since 2011 and have plan to > push them to bugzilla review in the next week.

Hmm. - We could detect in the Makefile if zsh is installed, and only then install the files. This sucks because the machine where it is compiled isn't necessary the machine where it's run. - We could just install it to /usr/share/doc/herbstluftwm/examples or so, and prompt the user to copy it over. This sucks because it doesn't just work (tm) - We could package it separately. This sucks because it doesn't just work (tm) and is more work for everyone involved. - We could just live with it. If you really insist in not installing it, can't you remove it from the Fedora package with some post-packaging-hook or whatever? (Also, it's in the debian package as well) How do other projects typically manage this? I'm really not in favour of removing functionality just because there might be a file in the filesystem which isn't needed. Just my $.02 ;) Florian -- www.the-compiler.org | Top-posting sucks! http://s.cmpl.cc/top I love long mails! | http://email.is-not-s.ms/ It's really quite a simple choice: Life, Death, or Los Angeles.
