| jodh | xnox: how are the updates to user-log-dir coming along? | 13:06 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | yes, should do those. fixes as agreed + docs. | 13:08 |
| jodh | xnox: ta :) | 13:09 |
| xnox | jodh: what if HOME="../lolcats/" | 15:45 |
| jodh | xnox: is that even legitimate? | 16:25 |
| xnox | jodh: i'm just pondering that XDG_CONFIG_HOME might end up ralative, after the fallback is used which expands $HOME. Hence I am pondering to move the check that path is absolute to a match later point. | 16:26 |
| xnox | such that returned conf-sources array is always legitimate. | 16:26 |
| xnox | jodh: I can totally see puppet/chef/whatnot misconfigure passwd | 16:27 |
| jodh | xnox: yeah - that sounds like the safest option. | 16:28 |
| xnox | jodh: does upstart handle alright if logdir is non-existant or NULL. | 16:32 |
| * xnox adds a note to check that. | 16:32 | |
| * xnox ponders how far one can get a desktop session going with relative $HOME | 16:32 | |
| xnox | right, needs more tests. I need to check on a few more urgent installer things now. | 16:37 |
| JanC | what would a relative path in $HOME be relative to? ☺ | 20:55 |
| stgraber | your current working dir, whatever it's :) | 21:02 |
| JanC | how do you go "up" from '/' ? | 21:05 |
| JanC | well, I suppose it just stays there | 21:06 |
| stgraber | hehe, I didn't say relative $HOME would make sense, just said how it'd work ;) but yeah HOME="../../home/test" will be equal to HOME="/home/test" in upstart's case ;) | 21:06 |
| stgraber | right, .. on / points to . so you can't go any further but it won't fail either | 21:07 |
| JanC | I wonder if there is a rule about what applications should do with a relative $HOME... | 21:08 |
| stgraber | applications usually just append stuff to $HOME and let the libc do any kind of expansion | 21:15 |
