No, I don't think anything gets put there automatically, unless the user does something like "make install GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR=...". > I think creating a ~/.gnustep directory containing per-user > configuration is reasonable and common practice. Yeah, one FHS issue with ~ is that the FHS says that configuration files are supposed to be in a dot-directory. Currently GNUstep configuration files are in ~/GNUstep/Defaults. But if we make GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT to be ~/.GNUstep, then user-installed applications, libraries, etc. get installed in a not-too-nice place, IHMO. -- Hubert Chan - email & Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA (Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net) Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
