From: W. Trevor King Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:09:26 +0000 (-0500) Subject: feeds: Follow the the XDG Base Directory Specification X-Git-Tag: v3.0~26 X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b8e180e1f0d63ef8db61085df5a6957cde855183;p=rss2email.git feeds: Follow the the XDG Base Directory Specification This splits config files and data files into different directories (by default), so we no longer need an rss2email subdirectory (we only have one config file and one data file). The default config file is now ~/.config/rss2email.cfg and the default data file is now ~/.local/share/rss2email.json. Signed-off-by: W.
