Subject: bug#71732: 30.0.50; [FR] xdg: provide an ability to create XDG directory, if it does not exist
Date: Sun, 23 Jun 2024 09:40:49 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pls8uhcu.fsf@localhost> (raw)
Follow-up from "Please document the caching and its user options"
https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/86le35rwyp.fsf@gnu.org/
Currently `xdg-cache-home`, and other functions in xdg.el only return
the path, but never create any directories.
However, to follow XDG spec, XDG directories must follow certain
rules. In particular:
If, when attempting to write a file, the destination directory is
non-existent an attempt should be made to create it with permission
0700. If the destination directory exists already the permissions
should not be changed.
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
May you please add a functionality to xdg.el to create the directory
with right permissions, so that xdg.el users do not need to know these
technical details of the spec?
