[ruby-core:96263] [Ruby master Bug#15828] DOTfiles and DOTfolders aren't allowed in $HOME folder on Haiku

Issue #15828 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).

Status changed from Open to Closed

Frankly speaking, it looks very expensive for Ruby to support Haiku as it is very different from the Unix-like system's convention.

If you really want to fix the issue, please submit the issue to each upstream, as nobu said.  I recommend you to create a patch yourself.

Bug #15828: DOTfiles and DOTfolders aren't allowed in $HOME folder on Haiku
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15828#change-83161

* Author: extrowerk (Zolt疣 Mizsei)
* Status: Closed
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [x86_64-haiku]
* Backport: 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
According to the guidelines, no program should create any file directly in $HOME

For config files we should use the ~/config/settings/ruby folder for .rubyrc (<- this file also should have no dot at the beginning!)
For --user-install the gem files should go into /boot/system/non-packaged/lib/ruby$rubyVersion folder

The system-install path seems to be ok.

I tried to grep the whole source tree, but i can't seem to find the correct place, where they defined. Can somebody give me some hints?
Thanks!
