Hey, Paul Sopka schrob: > [ user services have service dir in /run and logs in /var ] > What do you think about that reasoning?
Agree. Besides consistency, putting those below $HOME would also break in NFS setups where $HOME is shared among several machines. > I do not *want* to adhere to the XDG spec, it just seemed sensible to me and > nobody has provided any reason against it so far. See reason above. ;) But otherwise the correct sentiment. > Anyway, [1] made me think about why not to use a "/"-like structure under > "~/" (e.g. ~/.var, ~/.etc) instead of the XDG spec.

There's already 2 different standards for dotfiles (XDG and ~/.nameofprogram), inventing a third one is a case of https://xkcd.com/927/ (But per the above, ~/ is not apropriate anyway, so the point is moot.) cheers, Jan
