There are several issues here. The reason I said library code should never user HOME is that a server may be set up to run as a user with no home directory. This is in fact how swift is set up by the Ubuntu package. I had no configuration for this so if my configuration is incorrect that means the Ubuntu configuration is incorrect. But you said they agreed to this default. In any event, if there are default config values that might not work that should be documented somehow. But I was using pre-release code so I accepted the risk :).
