Hi,

I've just pushed to screened (ie http://darcs.net) a patch that makes
darcs use a more standard cache location (
http://bugs.darcs.net/patch1080 ):

This patch basically makes darcs using ~/.cache/darcs/ instead of
~/.darcs/cache. Unless $XDG_CACHE_HOME is set, in which case it
will use $XDG_CACHE_HOME/darcs/.

If $XDG_CACHE_HOME is set but does not exist, or if it
is not set and ~/.cache does not exist, the missing directory
is created with permissions 0700.

Under for Mac OSX, this patch makes darcs use the directory
~/Library/Caches/, which is the current norm.

Can someone using Mac OSX please try it?

Guillaume
