@bus Do not flag packages out-of-date for any reasons other than versions (which means that you should never flag a VCS package)!
I'm not going to let some random person take over this package without verifying they don't have malicious intents. Orphaning is only required when the maintainer (is intending to) no longer responds to any comments or requests.
Ah yes true. Thanks for the reply. I'll have a bit of a play and see if I can work out how to install it at a system level first, but yes, I might end up the same way.
I just switched to a user level install and I'm fine with that since I'm the only one using the computer anyway.
And using a package is not the only way to update, you could just set up a cron job or whatever.
Fair enough. TBH I thought about creating the stable zsh-zim package, but a brief look at upstream confused me. Out of interest, will you continue to use zsh-zim? And if so, will you just install it at a user-level?
EDIT: that's not my preference because I'd never remember to update it.
Since the upstream doesn't like zimfw getting packaged for global installation, and porting seems to be harder with the latest template changes, I'm going to stop maintaining this package. Contributions are still welcome.
This no longer builds for me.
==> Starting package()...
cp: cannot create regular file '/tmp/zsh-zim-git/pkg/zsh-zim-git/usr/lib/zim/templates/zshrc': No such file or directory
It looks like the subdirectory templates is no longer present upstream.
Also, regarding the previous comments, there's now a stable release out: https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw/releases
Since zimfw does not have any releases at this point, I don't see any point in doing that.
As a git package, I believe the proper way of doing this package is have it conflict and replace zsh-zim; so when there is a stable release there can be a git package and a release package.
I don’t think that helps in any way. I already do that in the install file, and all you need is a rebuild and install of zsh-zim-git.
After each update, zsh floods the console with following error message: https://pastebin.com/A91n9eBR. The solution is to invoke:
sudo find /usr/lib/zim/modules -iname "*.zwc" -exec rm -f {} \;
and reinstal zsh-zim-git. I think this should be added to the prepare() in PKGBUILD.

Ugh, it was a PITA to create this package. Please note that errors are silenced, so if you have any issues with zim, remove
&>/dev/nullfrom your/etc/zshrc- https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/zshrc?h=zsh-zim-git&id=5a378e94d516c57d39629de545b78b0f020d86a4I had to do it this way:
$ZIM_HOMEis only writable by root and zim constantly tries to update & recompile itself (=write to$ZIM_HOME), which results in permission errors when starting zsh as a normal user.If you want to add/remove a module:
zmodulein/etc/zsh/zimrczimfw install && zsh
