[Bug 474025] Re: update-manager-core should use ~/.config to store it's configs

[Mechanical snail]

I still have a ~/.update-manager-core directory, on a system upgraded
through several Ubuntu versions. It contains 2 files, "meta-release" and
"meta-release-development". The files were last modified in 2010,
suggesting they are no longer used (presumably the migration failed to
remove the obsolete config).

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)

Title:
  update-manager-core should use ~/.config to store it's configs

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  according to "XDG Base Directory Specification" update-manager should
  store the configs to ~/.config/update-manager-core . And this will
  make home folder clear.

  see:
  XDG Base Directory Specification
  http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/ar01s03.html
  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific configuration files should be stored. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.config should be used.
