Redirect not working.

[TeamLinux01]

I just tried out Bazzite and it has /home as a symbolic-link for /var/home. I did a redirect (bidirectional) of /var/home to /home, but it still wants to backup as /var/home.

It is using flatpak with version 0.21.

Thanks for any input.

Thanks for reporting this! It looks like Ludusavi shouldn't re-normalize paths (which involves traversing symlinks) after applying the redirects. I'll look into fixing this, but it may take some time to figure out.

In the meantime, a workaround would be to make a bidirectional redirect with a dummy path that isn't symlinked, like mapping /var/home to /home-bazzite.

@TeamLinux01 I have a build with a fix for this. Would you be able to test it out?

ludusavi-v0.24.0-post.11+cc507f2-linux.zip

I just tested it and it works correctly. Mapping /var/home to /home will result in the archive having a path of drive-0/home/.

Thank you.

Awesome :) Thank you for testing!
