Currently I’m building my own chroot-environment. Now I’ve a static zsh from cvs-tree:

[mika@tweety(519): ~/Source/zsh-cvs-040803/zsh]$ ldd Src/zsh
        not a dynamic executable
1 [mika@tweety(520): ~/Source/zsh-cvs-040803/zsh]$

Now I’m trying to modify my zsh-setup so it works without any more modifications out of the box in the chroot-environment.

In a chroot you’ll probably find no GNU-date so I wrote a zsh-wrapper for it:

zmodload -i zsh/datetime
alias datereplacement='strftime "%Y-%m-%d" $EPOCHSECONDS'
export DATE=`datereplacement`

Now you can use “$DATE” in zshrc for dynamic stuff.
