Bug description
I notice that https://github.com/linuxmint/warpinator/blob/master/src/warpinator-launch.py#L128 has a hardcoded path to bwrap at /bin/bwrap. On Gentoo, Bubblewrap is available at /usr/bin/bwrap. This issue does not affected systemd merged-usr systems, because those have symlinks back to the old /bin paths, but on OpenRC systems, merged-usr does not exist. I had to manually symlink bwrap and also python3 to /bin to get Warpinator to run (at which point it ran into the endless looping of dconf error, but that's a separate issue).
The ebuild is from this overlay and the discussion about this started in this issue: SuperTux88/gentoo-overlay#7
The ebuild doesn't do anything to the launcher script (i.e. no patches), and the maintainer's opinion is that this an upstream issue. It's easy enough for me to patch the ebuild or the launch script, but I agree it would be best to address it upstream, if possible.
Is there a reason that bwrap and python3 are hardcoded to /bin? Especially because the launch script invokes /usr/bin/python3? 🤔
Steps to reproduce
Install from ebuild.
Attempt to run.
Expected behavior
Warpinator launches in bubblewrap mode.
