[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#823093: Bug#823093: zsh-common: Zsh config files are stored in /etc/zsh instead of /etc/zsh.d, which is more expected by users

Control: tag -1 - upstream + wontfix
Control: severity -1 wishlist
Control: close -1

Hi Christopher,

thanks for the effort, but…

this is wrong.

In contrary, naming it /etc/zsh.d/ would cause confusion because
people would except something different from that directory than it
is:

* .d directories contain always multiple files which are together
  treated as if they would have been a single file.
* But /etc/zsh/ contains files of different purposes, e.g. zlogin,
  zprofile, zshrc, zshenv.
* And there is already a .d file inside /etc/zsh/:
  /etc/zsh/completion.d/

Hence I'm tagging this as "wontfix", setting the severity to wishlist
(since this is not a bug) and closing it.

Besides: /etc/zsh/ has nothing to do with upstream. It is a setting
specific to the Debian package, see
https://sources.debian.net/src/zsh/5.0.7-5/debian/rules/#L25 -- hence
removing the upstream tag, too.
