Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked kde at FreeBSD.org for
maintainer-feedback:
Bug 245117: x11/sddm: Home directory should be under /var
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245117



--- Description ---
The entry for sddm in /usr/ports/UIDs has $HOME=/usr/local/etc/sddm/home.

I believe this is incorrect as sddm uses $HOME to store state instead of
configuration; and hier(7) suggests that /usr/local/etc should only have
configuration files instead of transient files. sddm  modifies the contents of
$HOME whenever someone logs in/out.

I would suggest its $HOME be relocated to /var/sddm.
