It shouldn't. It will just ignore not existing files.

IMHO (Only my personal view, not official answer).
I would not copy readonly data to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$NAME, I would only copy
the readwrite parts off from usr/share/appname.
And I would define the map data chmod 666 in spec so I could programitically
remove the data.
I like your idea.
Hardly any experience with RPM though. I'll have to dive into that.
Sailfish people: please confirm if this is an allowed option.
Thanks.

Subject: [SailfishDevel] How to install user (controlled) data files for my
app avoiding /usr/share
Hi,
I am converting my aircraft navigation app to Sailfish.
It comes (default) with OpenStreet based maps + 3D data files of Western
Europe (in RPM).
Most users will use this map, but some users may use their home made
maps (generated by a PC application).
In the latter case, the users will delete this W-Europe map (it takes up
quite some disk space).
So far so good, but the installation/RPM is a problem:
Harbour says that I should install the app data (very much bytes for the
W-Eu map) in /usr/share/$NAME and in the first run of the app, copy them
to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$NAME.
But now I am stuck with an enormous amount of (useless) data in
/usr/share/$NAME that cannot be removed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
