[lxc-devel] [PATCH] Set default paths for unprivileged use (v2)

Quoting Stéphane Graber (stgraber at ubuntu.com):
> When running unprivileged (euid != 0), LXC will now use the following paths:
>  - Default lxc path: ~/.local/share/lxc/
>  - Default config path: ~/.config/lxc/lxc.conf
> 
> Those two paths are based on standard XDG paths (though ignoring all the
> possible override paths for now at least) and so probably don't need to
> be configurable at build time.
