from http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html : "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific configuration files should be stored. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.config should be used. " "$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS defines the preference-ordered set of base directories to search for configuration files in addition to the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME base directory. The directories in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS should be seperated with a colon ':'. " and the same for XDG_DATA* Thus nixos setup seems to be just fine and xdg is actually used by many packages such as kde. > Have a nice weekend, > Mathijs > _______________________________________________ > nix-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
