Some applications (like Librem's Chatty) rely on these symlinks. It would be nice if they were available in Fedora, as they are in Debian and Alpine.

On second thought, it'd be better to fix this upstream. Closing.

Turns out upstream can't/doesn't want to fix this. I don't think this is the best solution but I'd like input on how to best make this work.

@pbrobinson ?

I think it's poor solution, but I think it's not against packaging guidelines, because the symlinks are in the private purple-2 directory. I don't have problem to merge it, but waiting for some more feedback.
