This is the note I put in our Debian packaging currently: > FIXME: Create $HOME initially, ensure it exists at daemon start, patch > default file-store path to be ~/.local/shared/Radicale/collections (to > mimic XDG_DATA_HOME), and suggest to upstream to use python-xdg. So I agree that respecting XDG_DATA_HOME is better than hardcoding either ~/.config or ~/.local, and I agree that python-xdg is one sensible approach. But I also recognize that you try avoid library dependencies as much possible, which is my reason for _suggesing_ rather than recommending python-xdg :-) What might work is to have Radicale default to using XDG_DATA_HOME and if that is empty then fallback to e.g. ~/.local . But I don't know XDG standard in depth (I am the kind of person who _loves_ libraries so that I need not know all details myself). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
