gdesktopappinfo: Use `sh` rather than `gio-launch-desktop` (!1362) · Merge requests · GNOME / GLib

Philip Withnall requested to merge pwithnall/glib:1633-drop-gio-launch-desktop into master Feb 13, 2020

There were some problems about where to install gio-launch-desktop to support multiarch systems without circular dependencies. Simon McVittie suggested that, actually, given the current set of platforms supported by GDesktopAppInfo (they’re all POSIX), we could just use sh.

That simplifies things nicely. gio-launch-desktop can always be resurrected (and the multiarch debate continued and resolved) if needed in future.
