[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
If you don't use no-littering, or don't otherwise have a place to keep your
transient Emacs files, remove the "var" from the suggested path.
In early-init.el:
;; with a var transient dir
(startup-redirect-eln-cache
(expand-file-name (concat (file-name-as-directory "eln-cache")
(car (split-string system-configuration "-")))
(expand-file-name "var" user-emacs-directory)))
;; without
(startup-redirect-eln-cache
(expand-file-name (concat (file-name-as-directory "eln-cache")
(car (split-string system-configuration "-")))
user-emacs-directory))
