So no chance of seeing this added in a minor release? |
|
@RSully It can happen in a minor release if someone gets around to doing it. I just stuck it in next-major because I don't want to promise it in a minor release. |
|
I'm closing this as a dupe of #1257 - can we track there? |
|
Sure, could you tag that issue for the milestone/label so it doesn't get lost? |

Add new functions path_get_data and path_create_data which parallel existing functions path_get_config and path_create_data. The new functions refer to XDG_DATA_HOME, if it is defined, or ./local/share if not. Modify history_filename to use the new function path_get_data. As a consequence, fish_history will now be located in XDG_DATA_HOME, not XDG_CONFIG_HOME. Note that these changes mirror what is already used in fish-shell/share/tools/create_manpage_completions.py, which stores the completions in XDG_DATA_HOME This change matches recommendations in the xdg basedir spec at http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html ($XDG_DATA_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific data files should be stored. If $XDG_DATA_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.local/share should be used.) It addresses suggestions from the following issues: 1. Don't put history in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME fish-shell#744 fish-shell#744 2. Fish is placing non-config files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME fish-shell#1257 fish-shell#1257 3. Move non-config data out of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME fish-shell#1669 fish-shell#1669

As per #862, non-config data like
fish_history,fishd.*,generated_completions, etc. should be moved out of$XDG_CONFIG_HOMEand into$XDG_DATA_HOMEinstead. This would enable easy syncing of~/.config/fishbetween machines.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
