New Layout for Axel's $HOME Configuration

• Switch to using vcsh

Splitting Up and Moving Around Directories

Configuration files for commandline/text-mode applications

~/.ratpoison/colordiffrc → ~/.colordiffrc         (cli)
~/.ratpoison/screenrc    → ~/.screenrc            (cli)

Configuration files for package development

~/.ratpoison/lintianrc   → ~/.lintianrc           (pkgdev)

Configuration files for the desktop

~/.ratpoison/xsession    →  ~/.Xsession          (x)
~/.ratpoison/ratpoisonrc → ~/.ratpoisonrc        (x)
~/.ratpoison/keynavrc    → ~/.keynavrc           (x)
~/.ratpoison             → /.config/abe/desktop/ (x)

etc.

Configuration files for Emacs

~/.ratpoison/emacs.el    → ~/.emacs               (emacs)
~/.emacs.d               → ~/.config/emacs/       (emacs)

Configuration files for Zsh

~/.zsh/zshrc             → ~/.zshrc               (zsh)
~/.zsh/zshenv            → ~/.zshenv              (zsh)
~/.zsh/history           → ~/.local/zsh/history   (-, should be persisent)
~/.zsh/dirs              → ~/.cache/zsh/dirs      (-, should not be persisent)
~/.zsh/zsh.d             → ~/.config/zsh/         (zsh, needs consolidation for speed)

What to do with submodules is still open. grml-etc-core will vanish as soon as a grml-zshrc package is available.

Ideas

• Maybe using RichiH's vcsh mr template to ease bootstrapping.
