Re: USER-INIT-DIRECTORY and all that jazz
Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor] writes:
Some clients of `user-init-directory' (including code I wrote)
just
use (paths-construct-path "~" user-init-directory) to do the trick,
but there are some other variants in core Lisp and the packages. This
leads to different parts of XEmacs having a potentially different idea
of where ~/.xemacs really is.
BUT NOONE EVER NOTICED!
I certainly never did.
I conclude from this that `init-file-user' is really too arcane
to
matter. The logic behind it is too twisted for me to really grok, and
therefore probably to most users and many developers.
Here's what I want to do:
- zap `init-file-user'
- set user-init-directory (effectively) to "~/.xemacs"
- fix the two packages that need adjustment
Any objections?
Nope.
