[SailfishDevel] /var/log is not writable. Where do I create my logs then?

[Erik Ridderby]

Hi,

How is this $XDG_CACHE_HOME created? Is that something you setup in the
yaml-file? Because even though /var/log is read only /var/log/my-app can be read
and write without problem.
I think that if the installer can create $XDG_CACHE_HOME and put the right
permissions it would work.
