I'll keep this in mind.
While some programs seem to violate it (for example, XFCE seems to store persistent session information there), the XDG cache directory is supposed to be allowed to be ephemeral, specifically so you can put it on a ramdisk or etc. (The browser cache is a specific case in point.) I might also suggest that a local cachefs might be a good idea for such a system in general. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected] [email protected] unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net :�� T���&j)b� b�өzpJ)ߢ�^��좸!��l��b��(���~�+����Y���b�ا~�����~ȧ~
