use XDG_CACHE_HOME for cache #9

Closed nl6720 closed 7 years ago

Seems weird to me to move the cache and not just the entire ASPROOT. The cache is tiny (~160k), and will only grow/shrink based on the repositories changing size.

Reading #7 left me with the impression that you would not support moving ASPROOT to XDG_DATA_HOME.

falconindy commented 7 years ago

And that's still mostly true, but you're free to relocate ASPROOT wherever you like in your own install.

Personally I don't want to move ASPROOT, just the ASPCACHE, but I don't want to set the ASPCACHE variable. And keeping cache in XDG_CACHE_HOME allows to easily skip all caches when doing backups.

...and this is the nature of preferences.
