Unlike the cache which just saves time downloading, history allows users to retrace their steps and determines what pages autocomplete should resolve to in the location bar. It is as precious as, say, remembered window locations in various programs, which also go in $HOME/.config. In the usual filesystem hierarchy, it would go under /var/lib, not /var/cache. Do you know if there are any plans for an XDG_STATE_HOME that could be kept separate from configuration but considered more precious than XDG_CACHE_HOME? Please report this at http://crbug.com/ and let us know the bug number so we can track it. Thanks and hope that helps, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
