It's very nice to have this very useful tool for zsh

Took a look at this. Not sure this can really be made into a package in a useful way.
it's just a bunch of ZSH config files designed to be git cloned or <cringe> sh -c "$(curl..." 'd
into the users $HOME dir.
I suppose we could stow the files someplace appropriate and write a smallish activate-oh-my-zsh script
but then would we be on the hook for a deactivate script.
It seems like it'd be more trouble to maintain then it's worse to save the user typing is a git command and a couple of initialization commands. (because hopefully no sane user would take the curl option)

I agree. A user downloading a command line framework should be at least willing to learn the commands to install it. What we could do is to package the install.sh script.
To address this issue, I created the stub wiki page https://wiki.parabola.nu/Oh_My_Zsh. The page is mainly meant to collect all free plugins.
I did not quickly find an elegant way to install it without curl/wget, so I let it as it is.
Feel free to add plugins to the list and further improve the wiki page.
