Follow-up Comment #9, bug #30470 (project gnustep):
> And the current support is only for locations relative to the

We actually have (or are supposed to have!) support for an absolute path for
user domain locations. That means the user domain is no longer user-specific,
ie, it becomes yet another system-wide user domain. It could be collapsed
with the local domain, for example, effectively disabling the user domain. Or
it could be used as yet another system-wide user domain.
We clearly don't have the ability, to, say, have a user domain path in
/GS/{username}/Tools/. If we do, we could follow the convention that OpenSSH
uses in sshd.conf for AuthorizedKeyFiles:
"The following tokens are defined: %% is replaced by a literal '%', %h is
replaced by the home directory of the user being authenticated and %u is
replaced by the username of that user." (from the sshd.conf manpage)
Clearly, we wouldn't follow it literally, eg, we wouldn't have %h which is
implicitly and automatically already added at the beginning if the path is
relative. But we could use %% and %u.
That probably shouldn't be too difficult to implement.
Thanks
