[systemd-devel] ~/.local/share/systemd/user

[Tanu Kaskinen]

Hi,

Currently, systemd symlinks ~/.local/share/systemd/user to 
~/.config/systemd/user. I'd prefer to not have that symlink. I'd want 
the two locations have different semantics, analogous to the separation 
between /usr/lib/systemd/user and /etc/systemd/user, i.e. service 
upstreams should install units to ~/.local/share/systemd/user and users 
should customize in ~/.config/systemd/user.

I suppose there are very few service upstreams that install their 
software to the user home directory, but I happen to be writing such 
software myself. My project is just a toy, though, but I think the 
general approach of installing a user service to the user home directory 
makes sense, as it avoids the need to have root access.

So, would a patch that removes the symlinking be accepted?
