#5966: getAppUserDataDirectory does not respect XDG specification -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ordcoder | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Core Libraries | Version: 7.4.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect result | Unknown/Multiple at runtime | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: 6077 Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by dolio): Isn't this still a report about `directory`? I think it was decided for the upstream issue that changing the behavior of `getAppUserDataDirectory` would silently break things, so it was better to add the XDG querying functions for people to use rather than switch this function. So should this issue be closed? If the reason it's open is GHC placing its files in XDG directories, that is #6077 as mentioned by simonmar above. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5966#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
