Description
This was just merged into the XDG basedir spec:
There is a single base directory relative to which
user-specific executable files may be written.
User-specific executable files may be stored in
$HOME/.local/bin. Distributions should ensure
this directory shows up in the UNIX$PATH
environment variable, at an appropriate place.
Since
$HOME</literal> might be shared between systems of different achitectures, installing compiled binaries to$HOME/.local/bincould cause problems when used on systems of differing architectures. This is often not a problem, but the fact that$HOME` becomes partially achitecture-specific
if compiled binaries are placed in it should be kept in mind.
It has not been released, and so it is not final, but I figured I'd give you a heads-up.
