That's how it was originally intended to work, IIRC (but the
documentation indeed wrongly suggests to put paths there). Obviously
since we didn't have that situation before I never fully tested and
completed this part.
instead of looking for files in
/home/kbrown/.emacs.d/eln-cache. Shouldn't rebase_user use a variable
"userLocs" analogous to the variable "dynLocs" used by rebase_dyn()?
Or am I completely misunderstanding how this is supposed to work?
For reasons I don't exactly remember, I wanted to avoid that. Probably
because the user directory might not be available or accessible for the
install user, but then obviously you'd just as likely have a problem
with the actual rebasing also. I've been mulling the idea of having
user specific rebase databases on top of the system one (or more
generally a hierarchy of rebase DB) several times and that's one of the
reasons they might be needed.
Let's discuss how this can and should work on cygwin-apps.
A per-user database sounds like a good idea.
