Subject: [PATCH 3/4] gnu: papirus-icon-theme: Preserve hardlinks to save
 inodes.
Date: Wed,  2 Apr 2025 13:16:21 +0200

Even though the package has a 'halve-inode-consumption phase, this only works
if the subsequent `cp' doesn't break the created hardlinks again.  Tell `cp'
to preserve them.

For me, this commit reduces the number of hardlinks under /share/icons inside
this package from 113886 to 58697 (compared to 116011 without the
'halve-inode-consumption phase).

* gnu/packages/gnome-xyz.scm (papirus-icon-theme) [arguments]:
  Preserve hardlinks during installation.
