| Square2 | What is the most obvious location for application configuration that you want in your backup? Both for "per user" and "system wide" installs? | 09:43 |
| tarzeau | Square2: dot files in home, and /etc. (cron jobs /var/spool) (wrote this 25 years ago https://github.com/alexmyczko/ibackup) | 11:12 |
| Square2 | tarzeau, The problem as I see it is that home is it that it gets cluttered by applications. Some use .some_dir to store both caches, application data and install files. | 11:15 |
| Square2 | Also /usr/local seems like a popular place to store configuration | 11:15 |
| tarzeau | Square2: that problem is known only in very little amount of programs. | 11:20 |
| tarzeau | Square2: /usr/local/etc ? and /opt/whatever/etc? non default, you'd know when youre the admin, as you'd be installing software putting configuration there | 11:20 |
| tarzeau | there's always software not following good manners, same with road users | 11:21 |
| Square2 | tarzeau, thanks for your insight. Appreciated. | 11:58 |
| JanC | you can use whitelists or blacklists, I suppose | 13:31 |
| JanC | also note that when you have an application that uses ~/.some_dir you should check if it doesn't also support modern separated directories | 13:34 |
| JanC | some applications will use the old directories when they exist for backwards compatibility... | 13:34 |
