I promise this will be the last amendment that I have to make to this patch. I had just forgotten this one thing.

The specification states that each XDG_ environment variable must refer to an absolute path only, and should be considered invalid and ignored in favour of the default fallback if it is instead a relative path. The patch now makes sure that these variables are only used if they hold an absolute path.

(file #55860)

This should hopefully be the last attempt at this patch, however I've now gone back once more and also added the BASHRC variable that you suggested some time prior on the initial support post. As usual, please let me know if there are still any problems with the current patch.

(file #55779)

To reiterate what was said prior in the linked support post, this patch adds the discussed XDG fall-backs for all of .bash_profile, .bash_login, .bashrc and .bash_logout. While their legacy paths are still prioritised to not subvert existing expectations, they all now have the option to be moved to an $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bash directory without needing to be dotfiles.

The only one that does not have such a fall-back defined for it is .bash_history due to the need to preserve the existing HISTFILE default. Ideally, this would have been migrated to something like $XDG_STATE_HOME/bash/history, however users are free to set this as their HISTFILE if they so choose to.
