As such it is not automatically updated with the system. There is a prezto package. Might be worth investigating.

The following message shows when installing the prezto package:

It seems we can just keep our configuration files but skip the git clone --recursive https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto.git /mnt/etc/skel/.zprezto.
I am not sure if we need to keep the zsh_setup_configs.sh scripts.

System-wide configuration files are installation-dependent but are installed in /etc by default.
User-local configuration files have the same name as their global counterparts but are prefixed with a dot (hidden). Zsh looks for these files in the path stored in the $ZDOTDIR environmental variable. However, if said variable is not defined, Zsh will use the user's home directory.

We could make our configurations the global default for all users.

Ok I tested this in vbox and it seems:

  • by default the files in /etc/zsh/ are used
  • modifying the default files will have global effect
  • we can also just keep the user (dot-) files if we want
  • we can remove the zsh_setup_configs.sh step
  • /usr/lib/prezto/ is the install folder, where we can put our prompt_plasmon_setup file

Setting it globally is nice. Having a clean home folder after install is definitely better. If the user then decides to change settings he can still create the required files

Branch automatic_prezto is not yet working (tested 2d6e37b).
