[systemd-devel] Help on Automatic Symlink XDG_DATA_HOME

[systemdkiosk at yopmail.com]

Might some expert address:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=172220

It seems systemd pushes hard-wired paths irrespective of XDG vars, a
possible bug.

On this box XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_CACHE_HOME point outside $HOME, while
XDG_CONFIG_HOME is the default ~/.config folder. XDG_DATA_DIRS is the
default,
/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/

No file ~/.config/systemd/user exists. Still systemd insists on its
symlink in .local and will manufacture all the parent dirs just to
create that broken symlink to a nonexistent file.

I'd like reliable ways to tell systemd how to use, or not use $HOME. If
another way than XDG vars wil serve pray tell.

Thanks
Dave
