X-BeenThere: bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.9 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2012 01:57:13 -0000 This idea is from a Debian user [1]. What do you think of moving the > 2 GB db to $HOME/.cache/bitcoin and leaving the wallet and other config files in $HOME/.bitcoin? This is so backups can skip the .cache directory and the proposal follows the freedesktop.org XDG Base Directory Specification [2]. Personal info/settings stays in .bitcoin/ and everything that can be rebuilt goes to .cache/bitcoin/ I know users can do a work around and set it up themselves with symlinks, but interested in what you guys think.
