Buildozer doesn't work with multiple first-class directories

[ngoonee]

I have an existing project which can build. I've added kivymd for theming and stuff. I wish to vendor kivymd appropriately as I'm changing some of its code for my own use, so I place the kivymd directory in the same folder as main.py and my own first-class directory (name of my project).

Setting source.include_patterns to kivymd or similar (relative) does not work. The resulting apk (using android_new) doesn't have my kivymd directory. I can add kivymd's gitlab link in requirements, but then I lose all the changes I've done myself.

Workaround seems to be to host my own fork on gitlab, but it'd be easier to do it from files which are right there next to my own source. How is this supposed to work?

Oh wait! PEBKAC. Forgot kivymd was symlinked rather than existing there. Copying it works (hardlinking probably will too). Sorry for the noise.
