Re: [libvirt] [PATCHv4] Use XDG Base Directories instead of storing in home directory

As defined in: http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html 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 +
