star keeps its data outside devlore/: extensions belong at ~/.local/share/devlore/star/extensions #918
Description
star keeps its data outside devlore/, alone among the products. Its config and cache are already devlore-scoped:
~/.config/devlore/config.d/star.yaml, ~/.cache/devlore/star. Its data is not.
| Path builder | Result |
|---|---|
devlore.DataPath(...) (cmd/internal/devlore/devlore.go:78) |
~/.local/share/devlore/... |
devlore.WritLayersDir(), devlore.WritReposDir() |
~/.local/share/devlore/writ/{layers,repos} |
cmd/star/extension/loader.go:240 |
xdg.DataPath("star", "extensions") → ~/.local/share/star/extensions |
star is part of devlore, so its data belongs at ~/.local/share/devlore/star/extensions, built through
devlore.DataPath("star", "extensions") like writ's.
What moves with it
- The loader's probe list (
loader.go:237-240): the XDG path, and the system path/usr/local/share/star/extensions
beside it. self install: its target<prefix>/share/star/extensions(cmd/star/star/root.go:322) and
findExtensionsDir's<exeDir>/../share/star/extensions(:350).- The release archive: make dist ships writ and lore and drops star #903 packs the extensions at
share/star/extensions, andinstall.shandinstall.ps1
unpack that tree into the prefix. - The base layer in noblefactor-ops, which deploys
com.noblefactor.ops.GitHubto the old path through writ.
Until both move,star gh issues reportstops resolving -- that is the report agent rule 3 requires. - Existing installs. Anyone with extensions at the old path keeps them there until they reinstall; the loader can
probe the old location for a release or two, or the move can be clean with a note.
Order
After #917, which makes star's manifest honest. With that in place, an uninstall at the old path removes only star's
own files and leaves another installer's extensions alone, so the move cannot take writ's deployment with it.
