I still think it ought to search ~/.minetest/games, though, for those things that may not be installed using guix. For example, minetest has a built-in means of downloading games/mods. While it's best to use a package manager, it also breaks functionality if it doesn't work both ways. =2D-=20 Mike Gerwitz --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJexKgIAAoJEIyRe39dxRui0j4QAIVcGQW+6oEq12nOFq5WIe6v PkEfiB6by9I0zI0mybu2Yq2FyomFciiVVWCSo+A6B690YRDdmE1nd0eu1gAqQqDk VGzvpxz9967DH+f94yb6K/pYKiVzGZnGjEQIP+aSRqbWM25cjG1z6YaNdc6kJum+ 8pA3XQr1QCEhJMcqS6aZX87OIyJA1CF1iMNkxbnuc56hTyb342mibmmfHHNiBfrr ySEtM6jwqmZQEfW1aRgak8OcXomExX7XCD+jZ7r0d/MRlajOKHPZgm7K7Z6zMxBm vjxbuKI45tXoWT02F1bJqle40ZeykLz7FxxRMQtvZT4uUy8LY/qY79Y0T9lmyXVo 5/UsBNr+b6pSs7bFZuD5Gkz71RAW17CG4UYA70VDtn4vXErogGIVeb8bF48OlHvl 3yhw4ojRzqcOl4boxFVoR6ntcyoD/4niyrCGeMesoNZUFT63cCN9OM5J/HOVIEqx Caklwm+kvGEiBbVj7xHZtG+dLYW13qFIfxywh9Z256Rteb0SLVm/EfJ7BBE1f9TP SR8zVt8ZG1Jh26iK9M4Y7zSvWtO7dWE5dHH+aqhAA5NkK2Msey6ifnb2wEGsSRFe TNFOLCdAILrfTkN/OVUMF51s4R6ea4HHjEb22IFOSFHQfpCExAgg1s9otHgDkdTR NgyS5udRWKy/bJkh6/r3 =9EuE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
