I need to change $HOME to be able to run as system user ( because they don't have real home ). So i made, --chdir and $HOME be the same, it implies that, when running as simple user, $HOME = $REAL_HOME/.mldonkey since, mldonkey_server use a --chdir ~/.mldonkey. Mlnet use $HOME to compute mlnetstring place -> $HOME ^ "/.mldonkey". So for normal user it give ~/.mldonkey/.mldonkey. I can change this behavior, but i don't want to patch to heavily mldonkey. I feel this is a really small issue ( off coursen .mldonkey/.mldonkey doesn't seems to be very well and cool, but it doesn't prevent mldonkey to run ). > I have a mldonkey user and $HOME/.mldonkey/.mldonkey looks bad. (I > also had to create the dir or mlnet wouldn't start anymore). > The new version, which is uploaded ( 2.5.17-1 ), fix this : it creates .mldonkey/.mldonkey . It should fix this issue. Anyway, there is nothing to set in this dir ( it is only used for a i18n internal mechanism of mldonkey ). It is not, a place for user preferences. If anyone feel disturb about this, they can simply turn to mlnet which is the mldonkey upstream command. Mldonkey_server is only a debian wrapper.
