@Brottweiler Thanks for that. I can see from your comments on the Github issue that you are using a manual user-level install… I guess that's the only answer (and also fixes my other question). It's a pity we won't have automatic updates, though.
@ishitatsuyuki However, /etc/zsh/zshrc will still run before ~/.zshrc, so although the ~/.zshrc will run later (and have "higher priority"), the shell still will run both versions… and somehow unload the modules defined in /etc/zsh/zshrc. I guess I could modify /etc/zsh/zshrc (which is in the backup array) to point to an alternative instead of /usr/lib/zim/templates/zimrc, but then this would miss any updates. Having said that, @Brottweiler's comments make me think that the idea of a system-wide install is not workable anyway.

@Rhinoceros: The expected way is to copy that to .zimrc (others work too), and modify it. Then it has higher priority than installed one.

@Rhinoceros, Please read this https://github.com/Eriner/zim/issues/44

When I install, I get
/usr/lib/zim/templates/zlogin:22: no matches found: /root/.zcomp^(*.zwc)(.)
Also, this package makes zsh source `/usr/lib/zim/templates/zimrc` by default, which is where the modules are enabled. I wonder if you could include this file in the backups array. Then users could modify this, and it won't be over-written on updates.

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
