Details

Description:
A new option was added in makepkg 3.2 (which will soon be released), mostly for the zsh PKGBUILD :
http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-March/011478.html
The zsh man pages should remain uncompressed for "man zshall" to work properly.
So this is just a reminder, now that I think about it.

I took the opportunity for doing other changes and cleanups to the pkgbuild and the scriptlet :
1) bump to 4.3.6
2) drop the deprecated /usr/bin/zsh wrapper
3) follow more closely the PKGBUILD and install prototypes (in /usr/share/pacman)

There is one transition problem though. The old package contained compressed man pages (zsh.1.gz), but the install scriptlet uncompressed them on install, resulting in zsh.1 on the filesystem.
And the new package has zsh.1 directly.
So pacman will complain with a fileconflict for all man pages, and I don't see any way around it.
It seems like the install will have to be forced, so probably it would be better to make a news announcement.
This sucks, but well...
   PKGBUILD (1.2 KiB)
   zsh.install (0.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

I guess codemac is very busy, so maybe not :)
You can always build your own package with my PKGBUILD, like I did.
