Hi,

Efraim Flashner <efraim@flashner.co.il> skribis:

> * modules/shepherd/support.scm (%user-log-dir): New variable.

> * doc/shepherd.texi: (Invoking shepherd): Adjust listed default log

[...]

>  For unprivileged users, the default log file is
> -@file{$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/shepherd/shepherd.log}.
> +@file{$XDG_CACHE_DIR/shepherd/shepherd.log}.

The previous location wasn’t perfect, but the proposed one isn’t great
either: one can generally assume “rm -rf ~/.cache” won’t lose anything
that cannot be reconstructed, and the log is something that cannot be
reconstructed.

Do the XDG spec have something else that might be more appropriate?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
