Comment 2 for bug 1384286

I'm agnostic as to the exact location. We just need to agree :-)

Currently, it is: ~/.local/share/unity-scopes/unconfined/@{APP_PKG_NAME} for unconfined scopes, and ~/.local/share/unity-scopes/leaf-net/@{APP_PKG_NAME} for confined scopes.

I can change this easily enough. However, currently, ~/.local/share/@{APP_PKGNAME} is used as the click *installation* directory. That is the directory where the click package installs the scope's .so and .ini file.

For data sharing between the application and the scope, I take it that we are talking about the *cache* directory? It doesn't seem a good idea to use the same directory for both installation files from the click package, and data files that are created by the scope and/or the application, so I think the install dir and the cache dir should be different locations (but the new location you suggest is the same as the current click installation location).

Is it OK to drop the leaf-net and unconfined components from the path? Currently, a confined scope relies on being able to create the final path component *itself* by calling mkdir(). So, assuming that ~/.local/share/unity-scopes/leaf-net exists, the scope will try to create ~/.local/share/unity-scopes/leaf-net/@{APP_PKG_NAME}.
