Describe which access does not need additional permissions #472

Closed niccokunzmann closed 1 month ago

niccokunzmann commented 3 months ago

This is a follow-up of https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-docs/pull/471

I would like to make clear how to store data in the best way and when no additional permissions are needed.

Question: Are these variables mapped to in-app directories in the same way during the build?

The "Filesystem access" section right below here already says this. Avoid filesystem permissions and use XDG directories. Maybe it could be expanded and XDG turned into a link.

No. You don't store data in a users home during builds.

I added an autolabel https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-docs/commit/5423019ca9c88efcefa74280a3698923ac252edc, so if you rebase over master now you need to just do conventions:XDG base directories as the label

@bbhtt, thanks, yes that works well!
