IMHO (Only my personal view, not official answer). I would not copy readonly data to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$NAME, I would only copy the readwrite parts off from usr/share/appname. And I would define the map data chmod 666 in spec so I could programitically remove the data.

It comes (default) with OpenStreet based maps + 3D data files of Western Europe (in RPM). Most users will use this map, but some users may use their home made maps (generated by a PC application). In the latter case, the users will delete this W-Europe map (it takes up quite some disk space). So far so good, but the installation/RPM is a problem: Harbour says that I should install the app data (very much bytes for the W-Eu map) in /usr/share/$NAME and in the first run of the app, copy them to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$NAME. But now I am stuck with an enormous amount of (useless) data in /usr/share/$NAME that cannot be removed. Any suggestions? Thanks. _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
