Hi, I just discovered today that some packages can store pretty huge cache data in my $HOME, and found that rather problematic. When I backup my home, I don't want to waste backup space or time to do it, because I have to check what eats space and tell if it's cache data.
Couldn't such packages, like beagle and tracker, just use the standard directory for that purpose, like specified in XDG's basedir? That would be very helpful, I find. Could it be made mandatory, for packages that produce rather big caches, like indexing tools? Separately, Pierre -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP 0xD9D50D8A
