Subject: gnustep-base create $HOME/GNUstep/Library
Hi Dear GNUstep Developers,
I co-maintain open source unar package in GNU Debian (decompress rar files), it
uses NSDate class. We want to avoid the creation of $HOME/GNUstep/Library
(it's created automatically by gnustep-base), because is not used by unar, are
there a function, parameter or atribute to avoid this ?.
Thank you so much for your help.
This sort of thing is a recurring (though infrequent) issue ... people who
don't expect/want to see a GNUstep directory in their home directory, and who
(often) actively dislike the presence of anything other than the folders they
are force to have by their operating system. My impression is that the
objection arises basically a certain sense of 'tidiness'.
Why don't we just change to using .GNUstep instead of GNUstep by default?
