If some others chime in saying this would be desirable, I could certainly work on that. Ideally, I would like the freedesktop maintainers to agree on any/all functions that should be moved to the new eclass. Otherwise, I will stick with the current xdg-basedir eclass and leave the consolidation work to someone else. > 2. xdg-basedir-setup -> xdg-basedir_setup is more consistent with other > modern eclasses, especially if there are additional functions in the future. > Personally, I think that looks stupid. ^_^ Not something I'm going to fight over if it bothers people though.
