#60 Designing a standard distribution file path Issue opened by riking Because so many of the relevant file formats use absolute paths, we should come up with a canonical distribution / install path so that these files are more portable across installations. Proposals: • First, define a standard lookup path of

/usr/share/pdks/$tech

plus

/usr/local/share/pdks/$tech

plus

$XDG_DATA_HOME/pdks/$tech

plus

$HOME/.local/share/pdks/$tech

. • Tools should define their own per-tech configuration file layout below this directory, with liberty/LEF+DEF/GDS on a standard path • ... This doesn't actually solve the absolute path problem as stated, but it does open up the path to doing so. Do not action this issue until after November 30 :) RTimothyEdwards/open_pdks
