From c1d1c70684dac11ce6c14a5089b5cb0b64a7dc27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ville=20Skytt=C3=A4?= Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2020 10:01:28 +0200 Subject: xdgmime: configure as submodule So that we can bind it to a specific revision, and help with keeping clones up to date. GitLab CI instructs to use a relative path to submodules on the same GitLab server [0], but doing so causes a meson/ninja dist failure [1]. Configure using a full https URL for now, as it appears to work with GitLab just fine.
