RFC: use the XDG Base Directory Specification for configuration data

2011-12-21 Thread Justus Winter
Hi :) I'd like to propose to store notmuchs configuration in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/notmuch/config as suggested in the XDG Base Directory Specification [0]. Similarly $XDG_DATA_HOME/nmbug might be a more appropriate location for nmbugs git checkout than ~/.nmbug. Cheers, Justus 0: http://standards.fr
