Subject: [PATCH] spawn: note we do not use absolute paths within our code
Date: Mon, 23 May 2016 01:08:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160523010846.20289-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)
We can't rely on absolute paths when installed on other
systems.
Unfortunately, mlmmj-* requires them, but none of the core
code will use it.
