Comment on XDG Part Deux by Simon

DarthKev: *nix is a sort of obscure way to refer to any OS that is either derived from the original Unix (rare nowadays except in business environments), or a clone of it (Linux, OS X, and the BSDs). It may not seem to make sense now, but in the past, some Unix variants had names like Xenix or AIX, which fit the pattern.

I like how you missed the ‘U’ and hit ’8′ getting an asterisk at the front of Unix.

All of this pretty much goes over my head, but at least I understand the part about the change being made easy for users. Now I just need to find a way to sit patiently and wait for the next release…

So if I didn’t download the game until today (the 19th) as is the case, I will not need to run that script. Correct?

Or have these changes not yet made it to the SourceForge download page?

That’s actually a shell script the Desura guys wrapped Naev with. I’ll let them know.
