Hello! In RubyGems [1] we would like to keep the date of last software update check (just UNIX timestamp) in file, but we're not sure which directory to use to keep this info according to XDG Base Directory specification.
According to the specification, it seems XDG_STATE_HOME is the best place to store this file. But looking at the Debian explanation [2] XDG_STATE_HOME directory is not recommended to be synced across machines. This file is portable between systems, since the whole content is just a number (UNIX timestamp). It is not crucial to the user, but it is beneficial to sync this across machines to avoid potentially redundant update recommendations. Our plan is to recommend update only once per week thanks to this stored UNIX timestamp. Is there any recommendation which folder to use for our use case? Any advice would be much appreciated.
