Deepin Application Specification
Every application should keep the rule in this document.
1. Application Information
Application should set the property Organization-name and Application-name.
Organization/Application name can contains alphabet, number and other visible ASCII code, BUT space MUST NOT appear in the name. And we do not approve of no-ASCII code character in the Organization/Application name
Application can stay Organization-name empty, but it should always set an Application-name.
2. Standard Path
The log, configure and runtime cache of Application should store in specific path.
If Organization-name is empty, "{Organization-name}/" would not appear in path.
2.1 User Application Standard Path
As an application run for user session, the Standard path should be:
XGD_LOG_HOME_DEEPIN:
Where deepin-user-specific log should be written.
XGD_USER_HOME/.log
DAPP_CONFIG_HOME:
Where application-specific configurations should be written.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
DAPP_LOG_HOME:
Where application-specific log should be written.
XGD_LOG_HOME_DEEPIN/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
DAPP_CACHE_HOME:
Where application-specific cache files should be written.
XGD_CACHE_HOME/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
DAPP_DATA_HOME:
Where application-specific data files should be written.
$XDG_DATA_HOME/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
2.2 System Application Standard Path
Application run as system daemon, or with user with no home directory should place it's file in this standard path:
DAPP_CONFIG_SYS:
/etc/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
DAPP_LOG_SYS:
/var/log/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
DAPP_DATA_SYS:
/usr/share/{Organization-name}/{Application-name}
DAPP_CACHE_SYS:
