files: don't handle symlinks in a special way when home.file.<name>.recursive is set to true
I'm using `pass` as my password manager. In order to use it in Firefox, I use the passff extension. The passff extension needs the `passff-host` native messaging host to access the passwords. Here is what the file structure of the `passff-host` package looks like: ``` result ├── etc │ ├── chromium │ │ └── native-messaging-hosts │ │ └── passff.json -> ../../../share/passff-host/passff.json │ ├── opt │ │ └── chrome │ │ └── native-messaging-hosts │ │ └── passff.json -> ../../../../share/passff-host/passff.json │ └── vivaldi │ └── native-messaging-hosts │ └── passff.json -> ../../../share/passff-host/passff.json ├── lib │ ├── librewolf │ │ └── native-messaging-hosts │ │ └── passff.json -> ../../../share/passff-host/passff.json │ └── mozilla │ └── native-messaging-hosts │ └── passff.json -> ../../../share/passff-host/passff.json └── share └── passff-host ├── passff.json └── passff.py ``` As you can see, `lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/passff.json` is a relative symlink. This is perfectly reasonable. When adding `programs.firefox.nativeMessagingHosts = [ pkgs.passff-host ]` to the home-manager configuration, the firefox module first joins all the `nativeMessagingHosts` using `symlinkJoin` and stores the result in a variable called `nativeMessagingHostsJoined`. This creates `ff_native-messaging-hosts` in the Nix store: ``` /nix/store/bv62k5yl7jwzkhyci838ir3vgz59gqsa-ff_native-messaging-hosts ├── bin │ └── firefox -> /nix/store/0zqxaz44w75gjq32xj53i32jl2j91pzy-firefox-125.0.1/bin/firefox ├── etc │ ├── chromium │ │ └── native-messaging-hosts │ │ └── passff.json -> ../../../share/passff-host/passff.json │ ├── opt │ │ └── chrome │ │ └── native-messaging-hosts │ │ └── passff.json -> ../../../../share/passff-host/passff.json │ └── vivaldi │ └── native-messaging-hosts │ └── passff.json -> ../../../share/passff-host/passff.json ├── lib │ ├── [...] │ ├── librewolf │ │ └── native-messaging-hosts │ │ └── passff.json -> ../../../share/passff-host/passff.json │ └── mozilla │ ├── native-messaging-hosts │ │ └── passff.json -> ../../../share/passff-host/passff.json │ └── pkcs11-modules └── share ├── [...] └── passff-host ├── passff.json -> /nix/store/pag1akgbmls1xa63h6rzmb0h6xxwwzmy-passff-host-1.2.4/share/passff-host/passff.json └── passff.py -> /nix/store/pag1akgbmls1xa63h6rzmb0h6xxwwzmy-passff-host-1.2.4/share/passff-host/passff.py ``` Still perfectly fine. Then the `firefox` module sets ```nix home.file.".mozilla/native-messaging-hosts" = { source = "${nativeMessagingHostsJoined}/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts"; recursive = true; } ``` The `file` module then calls `lndir -silent "/nix/store/bv62k5yl7jwzkhyci838ir3vgz59gqsa-ff_native-messaging-hosts/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts" ".mozilla/native-messaging-hosts"` To see the problem, here is the resulting directory tree: ``` .mozilla ├── [...] └── native-messaging-hosts └── passff.json -> ../../../share/passff-host/passff.json ``` Obviously this symlink doesn't go anywhere. `lndir` created a broken symlink. To fix this, add the `-ignorelinks` argument to `lndir`, which causes it to instead just create a symlink to the symlink in `ff_native-messaging-hosts`: ``` .mozilla ├── [...] └── native-messaging-hosts └── passff.json -> /nix/store/bv62k5yl7jwzkhyci838ir3vgz59gqsa-ff_native-messaging-hosts/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/passff.json ```
