Possibly the $HOME/.local/ directory. I have the following structure
in there, but I tried to find out on freedesktop.org or linux
standands what is recommend regarding the ~/.local/ directory, but I
couldn't find any documentation on it.
What is the .local directory ? I don't have one, and I never heard of it.
If it is again a so-called standard by freedesktop, then it's a nono.
Sorry, but $HOME/.local IS a so-called standard by freedesktop:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/ar01s03.html
States that user specific data files should be stored in a directory
which defaults to $HOME/.local/share :-( (as opposed to user specific
configuration files which should go into $HOME/.config). But one must be
careful to tell apart essential from non-essential data files, because
user specific non-essential data files should be stored in $HOME/.cache.
I gather from the above that user specific useless data files should be
stored in $HOME/.shit (if not otherwise specified in $XDG_SHIT_HOME). ;-)
It appears that they're facing the mission of "avoiding the $HOME
directory cluttered by dot files" (as stated somewhere else), by the
clever device of adding more dot files.
So .fppkg it is by default, and it remains so. Good old unix custom.
Avery wise choice.
