Motivation:
As discussed in #6204, users would like to have a clean home directory.
And in the discussions following the merge of #3430, it seems there is a willingness to adhere to the XDG spec, and support
~/.config/swiftpm
.Modifications:
If the
XDG_CONFIG_HOME
environmental variable is defined, use$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/swiftpm
as the rootdotSwiftPM
directory.Result:
The symlinks that were previously stored in
~/.swiftpm
are now stored in$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/swiftpm
when this variable is defined, therefore not cluttering the home directory of users.Closes #6204
