[Gnu-arch-users] [RFC] Naming conventions

[Samium Gromoff]

This follows my choice of default per-user delta storage location,
as well as the possible default source tree storage location.

        The problem:

There is a need for a "default" location to store deltas in.

One of the most obvious solutions would be to store them in
$HOME/.tlator (or, $HOME/.$YOURLOVELYPROGRAM, for that matter)

This is not acceptable, imo, because tlator is not a standalone
program, but a part of the perceived "Arch" framework.

This means that the deltas used by tlator could be usefully
shared by other applications in the "Arch" domain.

Hence, it could be inferred that a more visible and generic
alternative should be used.

        Solution:

In the compliance with the established arch standard, it is proposed
to store the deltas in $HOME/{deltas}

        Further proposal:

If a future need would arise to choose a default working source tree
location, it is proposed to choose $HOME/{srctrees} for them to reside in.
