### How to package Powerlevel10k for distribution?
If you want to package Powerlevel10k, it's best to do it based off [releases](
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/releases).
The following code should work without patching anything in Powerlevel10k sources. If it doesn't,
please open an issue.
**IMPORTANT:** *Change version to what you want to package. This example doesn't get updated when
new versions are released.*
```zsh
# Download and extract Powerlevel10k tarball.
powerlevel10k_version=1.9.0 # IMPORTANT: CHANGE VERSION TO WHAT YOU WANT
wget https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/archive/v"$powerlevel10k_version".tar.gz
tar -xzf v"$powerlevel10k_version".tar.gz
cd powerlevel10k-"$powerlevel10k_version"
# Download libgit2 tarball and compile gitstatusd.
./gitstatus/build -w
# Post-process.
rm ./gitstatus/deps/libgit2-*.tar.gz
for file in *.zsh-theme internal/*.zsh gitstatus/*.zsh gitstatus/install; do
zsh -fc "emulate zsh -o no_aliases && zcompile -R -- $file.zwc $file"
done
```
This needs binutils, cmake, gcc, g++, git, GNU make, wget, zsh and either shasum or sha256sum.
Once build completes, *do not delete or move any files*. Package the whole directory as is. Don't
add the directory or any of its subdirectories to `PATH`.
You probably don't want to build in docker, so don't pass `-d` to `./gitstatus/build`.
gitstatus depends on a [custom fork of libgit2](https://github.com/romkatv/libgit2/). When you run
`./gitstatus/build -w`, it'll automatically download the appropriate libgit2 tarball and verify its
sha256. If you want to separate the downloading of source tarballs from compilation, you can
download the libgit2 tarball manually and invoke `./gitstatus/build` without `-w`.
```zsh
# Download and extract Powerlevel10k tarball.
powerlevel10k_version=1.9.0 # IMPORTANT: CHANGE VERSION TO WHAT YOU WANT
wget https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/archive/v"$powerlevel10k_version".tar.gz
tar -xzf v"$powerlevel10k_version".tar.gz
cd powerlevel10k-"$powerlevel10k_version"
# Download libgit2 tarball and place it where ./gitstatus/build expects it.
. ./gitstatus/build.info
libgit2_path=./gitstatus/deps/libgit2-"$libgit2_version".tar.gz
libgit2_url=https://github.com/romkatv/libgit2/archive/"$libgit2_version".tar.gz
wget -O "$libgit2_path" "$libgit2_url"
# Compile gitstatusd.
./gitstatus/build
# Post-process.
rm ./gitstatus/deps/libgit2-*.tar.gz
for file in *.zsh-theme internal/*.zsh gitstatus/*.zsh gitstatus/install; do
zsh -fc "emulate zsh -o no_aliases && zcompile -R -- $file.zwc $file"
done
```
Note that the URL and the content of the libgit2 tarball are fully defined by the main Powerlevel10k
tarball. Thus, you can set URLs and sha256 checksums of the two tarball in the same place (package
definition) and update them at the same time when bumping package version. In other words, you don't
have to extract `libgit2_version` programmatically. You can manually copy it from [build.info](
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/blob/master/gitstatus/build.info) to your package
definition, if you prefer.
Powerlevel10k has an embedded version of [gitstatus](https://github.com/romkatv/gitstatus). It must
stay that way. If you decide to package both of them, follow the respective instructions from each
project. The embedded gitstatus in Powerlevel10k won't conflict with the standalone gitstatus. They
can have different versions and can coexist within the same Zsh process. Do not attempt to
surgically remove gitstatus from Powerlevel10k, package the result and then force Powerlevel10k to
use a separately packaged gitstatus. Instead, treat Powerlevel10k and gitstatus as independent
projects that don't depend on each other.
It's currently neither easy nor recommended to package and distribute Powerlevel10k. There are no
instructions you can follow that would allow you to easily update your package when new versions of
Powerlevel10k are released. This may change in the future but not soon.
