[Bug 1772602] Re: files install to home directory instead of boinc subdirectory of home

[LocutusOfBorg]

** Changed in: boinc (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: New => In Progress

** Summary changed:

- files install to home directory instead of boinc subdirectory of home
+ [SRU] files install to home directory instead of boinc subdirectory of home

** Description changed:

- The command sudo apt install boinc results in multiple files installing
- to ~/ instead of ~/boinc/. This creates a mess in the home directory and
- makes cleanup less clean. Installing to ~/boinc/ would make cleanup
- instructions simple and straightforward.
+ [ Info ]
+ * boinc pollutes the home directory because of a wrong change in its init script
+ 
+ [ Steps to reproduce ]
+ * install boinc in bionic
+ 
+ [ Regression potential ]
+ * Minimal, some WUs might be lost
+ 
+ [ Other info ]
+ The command sudo apt install boinc results in multiple files installing to ~/ instead of ~/boinc/. This creates a mess in the home directory and makes cleanup less clean. Installing to ~/boinc/ would make cleanup instructions simple and straightforward.
  
  /home/usersname/all_projects_list.xml
  /home/usersname/client_state_prev.xml
  /home/usersname/daily_xfer_history.xml
  /home/usersname/gui_rpc_auth.cfg
  /home/usersname/client_state.xml
  
  Last tested with Pop!_OS 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
  
  Expected behavior are these files install in a subdirectory of home at
  ~/boinc/all_projects_list.xml and so on.
