Yep, that's what I meant.

You might want to express this in terms of a function similar to copy-
recursively, or at the very least a let loop.
  (let loop ((next (readdir dir)))
(cond
  ((eof-object? next) (closedir dir))
  ((member next "." "..") (loop (readdir dir)))
  (else (rename-file …) (loop (readdir dir)

bug#66339: [PATCH gnome-team v4] gnu: dbus-service: make the session available under /run/dbus

2023-10-06 Thread Vivien Kraus via Bug reports for GNU Guix
According to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/3101, glib
now searches for the session bus socket in runstatedir. The dbus service must
thus have its socket in /run/dbus.

For interoperability with the dbus standard, /run/dbus is also symlinked to
/var/run/dbus.

* gnu/services/dbus.scm (dbus-activation): Symlink /run/dbus to /var/run/dbus.
(%dbus-accounts): Run dbus in /run/dbus.
(dbus-root-service-type): Save the pid file in /run/dbus.

I’m not sure I understand.  What comes to my mind is:

1. Try to make the symlink. If it fails with EEXIST:
2. Try to read /var/run/dbus as a symlink. If it points to /run/dbus already,
   stop. Otherwise:
3. Move everything in /var/run/dbus to /run/dbus.
4. Delete the now-empty /var/run/dbus.
5. Symlink /run/dbus to /var/run/dbus.

Is it what you meant?

Best regards,

Vivien
