Not sure how interesting it is for you, but https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-xdg-utils is a reimplementation of some of the xdg-utils on top of portals (for use in a sandbox). Its written in C + glib, so might not be a great fit for the full xdg-utils though. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
