Follow the XDG spec for configuration

Open goranmoomin opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

Currently the location of configuration file for mackup is ~/.mackup.cfg, which clutters the $HOME directory. I believe that mackup should closely follow the XDG specification (Summary) and allow users to place configuration files to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mackup/config.

This can be made backwards compatible by checking the existence of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mackup/config(note that if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set, it fallbacks to ~/.config, so we should also check the existence of ~/.config/mackup/config, and if nonexistent, falling back to ~/.mackup.cfg, while showing a deprecation notice(or not...).

This is a good idea.
