PerfectCarl created IVY-1502:
--------------------------------
Summary: Be a nice freedesktop citizen, move the ~/.ivy to the
appropriate location
Key: IVY-1502
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1502
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 2.3.0
Environment: linux
Reporter: PerfectCarl
Priority: Minor
According to the XDG specification [1], there is a better way to store the user
specific data of an application by dumping in new hidden folder in ~/.
More information about it can be found [2]
The specification defines places to store the data so that the user profile can
be updated and moved properly while reducing some weird bugs.
Those places would be ~/.local/ivy or ~/.cache/ivy and other (depending on the
data stored)
