From 1383fde3457168ed759d6ed3b913dfae8a6085ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Braun Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2020 16:23:07 -0800 Subject: uhd: paths: Harmonize around XDG Base Directory specification Up until now, we completely ignore the XDG specification. This commit does the following to change that: - It uses XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_CONFIG_HOME for cal and config data, respectively. - If config data is in ~/.uhd/uhd.conf, that is still accepted, but if it conflicts with $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/uhd.conf, it is ignored and a warning is displayed - The default location for cal data is thus ${HOME}/.local/share/uhd/cal on Unix, and %LOCALAPPDATA%\uhd\cal on Windows. This is a change in location! - The UHD_CONFIG_DIR environment variable was confusingly named and is now removed. It provided an alternative location than the home directory. The same purpose is now much better served by XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_CONFIG_HOME. The specification can be found here: specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html --- host/include/uhd/utils/paths.hpp | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'host/include') diff --git a/host/include/uhd/utils/paths.hpp b/host/include/uhd/utils/paths.hpp index f55f584a5..8bcf22171 100644 --- a/host/include/uhd/utils/paths.hpp +++ b/host/include/uhd/utils/paths.hpp @@ -20,9 +20,6 @@ namespace uhd { //!
