Subject: [PATCH] gnu: kakoune: Add search path
Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2025 04:01:05 GMT

* gnu/packages/text-editors.scm (kakoune): Add KAKOUNE_RUNTIME to search
paths. This is needed to eg. package plugins, or to have a stable target
for the symlink inside `${userconf}/autoload` to `@{runtime}/autoload`
(see Kakoune manual).

This is my first contribution... If I forgot any guidelines, let me know!
This patch would prepare the way for some kakoune plugin packages, but I'll
first consult the guix-devel mailing list to see if & how that is alright.
This patch should be nonetheless useful on its own.
