For software run by interactive users, these days I would tend to just follow the XDG specification. It's pretty widely adopted at this point and there seems to be slow movement towards it for most interactive software. https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html This specifies $XDG_CACHE_HOME, falling back on $HOME/.cache if not set. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ fhs-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/fhs-discuss
