Subject: [PATCH] guix: gtk-icon-themes: produce only cache in output
Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2025 15:36:53 +0100

This patch changes the behavior of gtk-icon-themes to produce only the
icon-theme.cache cache files, instead of producing the whole union.
The reason for this is that by producing the whole union, the icons are put to
the profile twice. This throws off the union build of the profile and symlinks
all the individual files instead of symlinking folders. This means
unnecessarily high numbers of symlinks are produced.
