You should check in the HaikuPorts, maybe a recipe is slready available for your next port, but it is just untested on your arch: https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports
So my proposal would be: please remove the links to the hpkg as it is already in the Depot, comes with icon and startscript, but it needs the game-data in different folder, so 2 different version can easily make misunderstanding in the future. Thanks.
/boot/home/config /appname configurations
/boit/home/config/settings/appname settings
/boot/home/data/appname files generated by the user or add files to run a program like game files, all are not settings or config
I think /boot/home is a nice place to put files generated by the user. Organize it how you like, its yours! You don’t need authorization from Haiku inc to create a data/ directory there.
Because it is mine.
I don’t care where the gamedata goes, as long as it don’t require an extra folder in my home dir. Pls, do not put stuff in the root of my home.
I am not a haiku developer, only some one help do a good way. And the home folder is the user folder. And i does not like to put the home folder full of things, so a data directory would be a good position.
The package creator can only start of the position the user have only one partition. If you want to move them on other place to it and create a symbolic link.
We need structure, and we get it with the package management, but in home we get chaos again, because every packager do things on different ways.
