Description kealthou 2013-11-25 08:03:07 UTC
/bin/zsh is just a legacy path. Append /usr/bin/zsh to /etc/shells too, like bash.

Comment 3 Dominic Hopf 2014-07-03 00:11:37 UTC
Thanks very much for reporting this issue and your patience while I investigated some issues with building 5.0.5. The issue here rather was, that %{_bindir} was set to /bin in the package and thus the whole Zsh binary was installed to /bin before.

This behavior has now been changed and we're using the default value for %{_bindir} which points to /usr/bin. Since /bin is just a symbolic link to /usr/bin this should work without any issues and the correct path will be appended to /etc/shells now.

Please feel free to test this and provide me with feedback as soon as the update is available via updates-testing.

Please take a look at this(my draft, turned into guideline as well):

That's probably right since the zsh could be invoked via /bin/zsh as well as /usr/bin/zsh. The link you posted does not cover the uninstallation process, though. Zsh does the following in %postun currently:

%postun
if [ "$1" = 0 ] ; then
    if [ -f %{_sysconfdir}/shells ] ; then
        TmpFile=`%{_bindir}/mktemp /tmp/.zshrpmXXXXXX`
        grep -v '^%{_bindir}/zsh$' %{_sysconfdir}/shells > $TmpFile
        cp -f $TmpFile %{_sysconfdir}/shells
        rm -f $TmpFile
    fi
fi

Are we able to just add something like that as well to the wiki page?

Why didn't it cover the postun???

Seems I just overlooked something, sorry. I've applied this for Rawhide now.
