I've written a patch for installing the functions from the source
distribution, but as it involves moving files between directories it's not
very convenient to post and instead I'll leave it for pws-21.
Here's what I've done:
* --enable-fndir=directory allows you to specify a function installation
directory; default is ${datadir}/zsh-fns, almost certainly
${prefix}/share/zsh-fns
* The given directory is compiled as the default value for $fpath/$FPATH
* `make install' or `make install.fns' will install all functions from
under Completion and Functions into that directory, `make uninstall' or
`make uninstall.fns' will delete them.
* --disable-fndir or --enable-fndir=no turns off both installation of
functions and the default $fpath/$FPATH
* Functions now contains two subdirectories, Misc and Zftp, where all the
functions themselves live (parallels Completion, and allows $dir/* for
installation so as not to have to list all files in the Makefile).
Any views on overwriting behaviour?
- always overwrite existing installed functions
- never overwrite
- compare each file with the installed version, if it differs move the old
one to $file.old (unconditionally) and install the new one --- slow but
safer
- something devilishly clever
