Package: get-iplayer Version: 2.86-1 Severity: wishlist get-iplayer uses the same directory (~/.get_iplayer/) to store both the user configuration file, the programme download history and the cache of available programmes (the *.cache files).
As the cache files are automatically generated and their contents changes regularly, it makes sense for the user to exclude them when making backups. On the other hand, users will probably want to backup their configuration files and download history. It would help if get-iplayer allowed storing these files in separate directories. Ideally, the cache should be stored in a standard location for cache files; either a user-owned subdirectory of /var/tmp/ or the $XDG_CACHE_HOME directory defined in the XDG Base Directory Specification (usually ~/.cache/) <http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
