But is that important for this use case? A single developer box with a local dir having some debuginfo for local packages. debuginfod could just warn (and keep running/scanning) if it detects that dir contains symlinks, subdirs, etc. on first scan. I don't think path-based activation means you have to quit once done, just that you might be reactivated if you do. Cheers, Mark
