Drop fragile XDG_RUNTIME_DIR support An XDG runtime directory cannot be provided reliably by the shell, because it's supposed to have the same lifetime as the user's login session, and the shell doesn't have a reliable way to keep track of that lifetime. There are probably nonportable ways to get a conforming directory, such as making a request to PAM, but PAM is supposed to set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR itself anyway and also doesn't exist on Macs, which I use most of the time. My configuration isn't actually using XDG_RUNTIME_DIR anyway, so I don't want to provide the misleading impression that a runtime directory with proper behaviour conforming to the specification is definitely available. 2021-09-21 20:22:09 -04:00			`export XDG_CONFIG_HOME XDG_CACHE_HOME XDG_DATA_HOME XDG_STATE_HOME`

Migrate zsh config to XDG base dir location .zshenv still needs to live in ~ for bootstrapping, but everything else is now squirrelled away in ~/.config/zsh instead. Note that zplug still lives in ~/.zplug - it should be relocated too but hasn't been yet. 2016-10-05 18:21:16 -04:00			`: ${ZDOTDIR:=$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zsh}`
