Follow-up Comment #9, patch #4387 (project freeciv): (Since we're discussing the XDG directory spec here) another thing that makes me a bit uneasy about using that for Freeciv is that it mandates a default fallback to a system-wide directory (under /etc/xdg) for config. I'm not sure that's appropriate for .freeciv-client-rc, although I can't quite articulate why. I like the current property of being able to blow it away from my home directory and restore factory configuration without having to go on a hunt to determine which system-wide files and environment variables might be changing my experience from the developer default (e.g. when reporting bugs upstream), and I'm struggling to see many realistic applications for a system-wide client RC.

Hmm, I don't notice anything explicit in the base directory spec requiring symlinks -- is it an implied requirement? Or could it be a different XDG spec? -- fontconfig is a freedesktop.org (fka XDG) project <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig/>, after all. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/patch/?4387> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
