-#+TITLE: Installing applications under =$HOME=
-
-One day I woke up and decided to stop letting ~make install~ put
-programs under =/usr/local/=.  Not every project provides an
-=uninstall= target, so over time, as more and more applications get
-lumped under that hierarchy, it becomes a clutter of stuff that I
-cannot remove without…
-
-1. guesstimating what files belong to any given program using
-   timestamps,
-2. weighing my odds of passing correctly crafted globs to the likes of
-   =sudo find -delete= and =sudo rm -r= without destroying my system.
-
-Instead I figured I would start ~./configure~'ing programs with
-=--prefix=${HOME}/apps/${program}=, and teach whichever dotfiles
-manage session environment variables to arrange for installed
-resources to be found.
-
-How hard could it be?
-
-* =PATH=
-The Correct Way™ to set environment variables seems to depend on
-
-1. the kind of session (TTY vs GUI),
-2. the init system (e.g. [[https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/environment.d.html][systemd user environment variables]])
-3. the desktop environment (e.g. [[https://userbase.kde.org/Session_Environment_Variables][Plasma session environment variables]]),
-4. the display server,
-5. the distro?
-   - e.g. Debian's SSDM [[https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=794419][used not to]] source =~/.profile=,
-   - and [[https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/448][developers said]] it should not anyway,
-   - except [[https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1551][it has provisions to do so]]?
-6. [[https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/pam_env.8.html][PAM]]?
-
-Empirically with Plasma on both Tumbleweed (20230929) and Debian 12,
-=~/.profile= seems to be run for both TTY and GUI sessions.  Unclear
-what arcane magic is causing that: probably the login manager - on
-Tumbleweed =/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsession= seems to start a ~bash
---login~, but getting lost in the =/usr/etc/X11/xdm/= weeds trying to
-track down who might source that =Xesssion= script.
-
-=~/.profile= it is, then 🤞
-
-(For other DEs on X, my recollection was that =~/.xsessionrc= is the
-way to go for GUI sessions?  No clue about Wayland)
-
-* ~man~ pages
-=manpath(5)= says:
-
-#+begin_quote
-By default, man-db examines the user's =$PATH=.  For each
-=path_element= found there, it adds =manpath_element= to the search
-path.
-
-If there is no =MANPATH_MAP= line in the configuration file for a
-given =path_element=, then it adds all of =path_element/../man=,
-=path_element/man=, =path_element/../share=man=, and
-=path_element/shared/=man= that exist as directories to the search
-path.
-#+end_quote
-
-How convenient!  Setting =PATH= automatically takes care of ~man~
-then… unless =MANPATH= is set, in which case that logic is bypassed.
-
-** openSUSE
-=/usr/etc/profile.d/manpath.sh= [fn:: sourced by =/etc/profile=,
-sourced by =/usr/etc/profile= and =~/.profile=.] plays a little danse
-to (a) query ~manpath~, which runs the heuristic described above (b)
-set the resulting value "in stone" by exporting =MANPATH=.
-
-This means that ~man~ will not consider any =PATH= element added by
-the user after that profile fragment was sourced.
-
-Solutions:
-
-1. Unset =MANPATH= in =~/.profile=, after =/etc/profile= is read.
-   =~/.profile= is "read each time a login shell is strated.  All
-   other interactive shells will only read .bashrc", so unclear
-   whether that will affect graphical sessions.
-2. Extend =PATH= with apps /before/ those profile fragments are
-   loaded.  Unclear how to accomplish that:
-   - [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/environment_variables#Per_user][systemd user environment variables]]?  Seems to be limited to
-     =KEY=VALUE= directives; I would like to run a bit of logic that
-     will automatically add every =~/apps/*/bin= directory.
-   - [[https://userbase.kde.org/Session_Environment_Variables][Plasma session environment variables]]?  Presumably will not affect
-     TTYs?
-3. Embrace the distro's method: if =MANPATH= is set, extend it.
-
-Went with solution 1 because empirically =~/.profile= seems to be
-sourced for GUI sessions (as noted in § =PATH=).
-
-* ~info~ pages
-Similar to ~man~, ~info~ knows to work with =PATH=.  The priority
-[[https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git/tree/info/infopath.c?h=texinfo-7.0.3#n41][seems to be]]:
-
-1. the =INFOPATH= environment variable,
-2. the =INFODIR= build macro, /if =infopath-no-defaults= is not set/,
-3. the =DEFAULT_INFOPATH= build macro, /if =INFOPATH= is unset or ends
-   with a trailing colon/.
-
-Any of these can contain the =PATH= literal, which means "iterate over
-=${PATH}= and add nearby =share/info= & =info= directories".  By
-default, =DEFAULT_INFOPATH= contains =PATH= 🥳 but =INFODIR= has
-priority and is set to something boring like =/usr/share/info= 😒
-
-Solution:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-cat <<EOF > ~/.infokey
-#var
-# Disable INFODIR; fall back to DEFAULT_INFOPATH which prioritizes
-# program PATH over /usr/share/info.
-infopath-no-defaults=On
-EOF
-#+end_src
-
-* DONE systemd services
-=systemd.unit(5)= § "User Unit Search Path" mentions a couple of
-variables that we could append:
-
-- =$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/systemd/user/*=
-- =$XDG_DATA_DIRS/systemd/user/*=
-
-And:
-
-#+begin_quote
-When the variable =$SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH= is set, the contents of this
-variable overrides the unit load path.  If =$SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH= ends
-with an empty component (=:=), the usual unit load path will be
-appended to the contents of the variable.
-#+end_quote
-
-So we could either:
-
-1. find the directory 𝒟 where an app tucks =systemd/user= in its
-   installation tree, and append 𝒟 to one of the XDG variables,
-2. find the directory where an app tucks its =.service= files, and
-   append that directory to =SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH=, keeping a final
-   colon.
-
-(1) could feed multiple birds with one scone: in particular,
-=XDG_DATA_DIRS= is used for other purposes (see § Desktop entry
-files).  Serendipitously, [[https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/1d87a00a951dca801c8ccd79c1460fa91efa7dce/src/basic/path-lookup.c#L147][the systemd sources]] suggest =DATA= over
-=CONFIG= for our purposes:
-
-#+begin_src c
-        /* Implement the mechanisms defined in
-         *
-         * https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html
-         *
-         * We look in both the config and the data dirs because we
-         * want to encourage that distributors ship their unit files
-         * as data, and allow overriding as configuration.
-         */
-#+end_src

-* DONE Desktop entry files
-The Freedesktop [[https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html][Desktop Menu]] and [[https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html][Desktop Entry]] specs spell out how
