Currently unison places its logfile in the home directory. It would be better (and nicer) if unison, by default, could place its logfile in .unison dir.

I have attached a patch (in dpatch format) to address this 'wishlist'

This wishlist could also be found at Ubuntu launchpad [0]

A change in upstream sources? Of a default for something that can be
configured? Really?

Did you discuss with upstream about that change? Is the current
behaviour violating some policy?

I don't see the urge to apply this as a Debian-specific patch...

not sure, I'm trying to understand if we can get rid of the Ubuntu delta, and changing it might be beneficial for Debian too

having files in $HOME directory that are not starting with "." is really annoying for lots of people

I'm happy also if you close this bug, just keeping it unanswered looks like "forgotten" :)

anyhow, deleted
