[SailfishDevel] Folder permissions

[Jonni Rainisto]

Did you remember to add %ghost in .spec files for rpm to claim ownership for files that you created? Afaik with that remove will also remove the files when package is uninstalled.

Thank you very much, I've just tested my game using the XDG basedir and it worked so I can continue my port of the game by modifying the rest of the code.

Just one question, will the folders under .config/.cache/.local be removed if I uninstall the game? I've noticed that using the XDG basedir to read the environment variables I get something like: ..../..../<MyGameName> but no folder is created, so I programmatically created the <MyGameName> folder and placed my config (read/write) files.

Since the GUI from the emulator doesn't uninstall the actual game I ssh into the emulator and called "zypper remove <MyGameName>" and it was uninstalled but the folders with all their contents I had created weren't erased. If this happens in the actual device then at some point there isn't going to be any space available on the device.
