hi, the spec [1] only talks about XDG_DATA_DIRS/HOME -> e.g. icons, docs, ... equiv of e.g. /usr/share XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/HOME -> settings, equiv of /etc XDG_CACHE_DIRS/HOME -> e.g. a plugin cache, equiv of /var/cache
but there is nothing for plugins (equiv of /usr/lib). E.g. the user aquired the gstreamer mp3 decoder plugin from fluendo (which sits right now in ~/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins). If this would justify xdg where should t go instead? Would it make sense to add a XDG_LIB_HOME -> $HOME/.local/lib gstreamer could then use $XDG_LIB_HOME/gstreamer-0.10/ Would we also want this for executables? XDG_BIN_HOME -> $HOME/.local/bin As usual the names can be discussed as well :) Stfean [1] http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html
