This offers a number of advantages: * Allows sharing a home directory between different machines, or sessions (eg. using NFS) * Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from user settings * Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings between different OS versions * Supports reseting settings without breaking things * Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk is filling up * Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution * Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored * Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the system for administrators --- AUTHORS | 1 +

Your From: line and your AUTHORS entry disagree. For now, I pushed a trivial fix under the build-breaker rule to get 'make syntax-check' working again, but we can use .mailmap to fix things if you prefer one address over the other in your AUTHORS listing. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
