The "issue" here (or at least at the dawn of this thread) is that some package maintainers have chosen to break something that used to work. It seems to me that Wookie indeed is "working on the issue": Attempting to help clarify what is the issue, so that hopefully change the minds of those upstreams and/or package maintainers currently tidying to only provide XDG hints before being supported generally in Debian either directly or through some clever Debian infrastructure. ...or at least help minimize the amount of fellow usptreams and/or package maintainers following in the footsteps of those - hopefully few - misguided ones currently tidying their packaging too aggressively. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
