[vlc-devel] [PATCH] $HOME envvar should be checked before getpwuid()

[Benjamin Cama]

Hi,

VLC behavior concerning where to look for user's home directory is a bit
broken (it killed my afternoon ...) : it should check $HOME before going
getpwuid (see man getpwuid). This patch corrects this, checking in this
order :
$HOME -> getpwuid() -> $TMP -> /tmp
(before was getpwuid() -> $HOME -> $TMP -> /tmp)

It was also not tested ....
Please CC me for any anwser, as i'm not subscribed.

Regards,
Benjamin
