Update logic of
xdg.RuntimeFile
: due to the special nature of the runtime directory, the function no longer attempts to create the base directory if it does not exist. If that's the case, the function uses the operating system's temporary directory as a fallback.The function still creates sub-directories relative to the base runtime directory or its fallback.
Justification: the creation of the runtime directory is not in the scope of this package as it has special requirements defined by the XDG Base Directory Specification. Relevant excerpt:
Furthermore, on
Linux
, the parent directories of the default user runtime directory are owned by the root user so they cannot be created by a regular user. pam_systemd is usually responsible for creating the runtime directory (/run/user/$UID
).Addresses #46.
