Thanks. You're right: Wrong branch.

So how should it look like? Use the same source for both?

(etc-targets= [zshenv bashrc])

Or make one source the other?
Eg put . /etc/bashrc into /etc/zshenv

The reason why I added a second file is that I'm not a shell expert. so
I didn't knew exactly which commands can only be used in either shell.

Probably it's not hard to write this little stuff so that both shells
can understand it.

Probably you've also seen my last env hook proposal.
Maybe some of the stuff (eg collecting the INFO and PKG_CONFIG vars)
could / should be done using such a hook.

If someone else can put some thoughts into this as well I'd be glad.
