upon launch zsh tries to read /etc/zshrc and does not try to read /usr/local/etc/zshrc despite having --sysconfdir=${PREFIX}/etc in CONFIGURE_ARGS in the /usr/ports/shells/zsh/Makefile file.

same applies to zshrc.zwc and zshenv files.

Seems sysconfdir configure directive is not applied or not honored.

adding  --enable-etcdir=${PREFIX}/etc to CONFIGURE_ARGS fixes the situation.

Comment 3 Baptiste Daroussin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-12-09 12:30:40 UTC
Reopen given that change has been backed out and pass it to new maintainer
Comment 4 Johannes Jost Meixner freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-03-08 09:54:05 UTC
This might be a good candidate for merging into the quarterly branch.
Comment 5 Lars Engels freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-03-08 10:12:08 UTC
Please re-add the feature or remove the same changes that were made in editors/vim some months ago, so that the same rule applies to all ports.

Or just add an UPDATING entry, a pkg-message or whatever and make the zsh port more useful and user friendly.
Comment 6 Adam Weinberger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-03-08 22:50:25 UTC
(In reply to Johannes Jost Meixner from comment #4)
The commit was backed out; there's nothing to MFH here at this time.
Comment 7 Adam Weinberger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-03-08 22:54:36 UTC
(In reply to Lars Engels from comment #5)
I think the Right Thing is for zsh to look for appropriate configuration files in ${PREFIX}/etc and /etc, but zsh has to be taught how to do that (and I haven't had time to do that yet).

But then also, which one has priority? I don't think that forcing only /usr/local/etc is any better than forcing only /etc, as it's just going to cause confusion.
Comment 8 Ben Woods freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-06-23 21:03:43 UTC
I have asked the question to the zsh mailing list here as to whether it is feasible to allow zsh to search multiple directories for its startup/shutdown configuration scripts:

Author: adamw
Date: Fri Jun 24 14:13:28 UTC 2016
New revision: 417423
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/417423

Log:
  Switch zsh back to looking for system-wide files under ${PREFIX}/etc,
  rather than /etc. Add an option, ETCDIR, to switch it back to /etc.
  Also includes a couple whitespace cleanups. PORTREVISION bump, and a
  note in UPDATING.

Comment 10 Adam Weinberger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-06-24 14:16:44 UTC
I've committed the change back in, and added an option, ETCDIR, to let people switch it back if they need to. Also added a pkg-message and an UPDATING entry about it.

Johannes, I think I'm not going to merge it to quarterly. 2016Q3 will be branching very soon, and I'd like it to get vetted in latest first.

Thanks to everyone involved for being so patient.
