>From a79645c565e56ac201e66936d9f9883ad9387b06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Cournoyer Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2020 00:24:29 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] gdesktopappinfo: Fix monitoring of a Guix profile XDG_DATA_DIR. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fixes . Treat the $HOME/.guix-profile/share and /run/current-system/share XDG_DATA_DIRS file names specially so that the inotify-based monitors placed by GLib monitor their parent link rather than an immutable directory.
