How do I use adapted Minolta MD lenses for lens correction in darktable?

In darktable 2.6, the lens correction module only shows Sony E-mount lenses when my camera is detected automatically. I’m shooting with older Minolta MD lenses on a Sony E-mount camera via an adapter, and those lenses appear to be supported by Lensfun. Is there a way to make darktable/Lensfun recognize adapted Minolta MD lenses so I can select them for correction?

Use the command line tool lensfun-add-adapter for this, see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/lensfun-add-adapter.1.html.
You can also do it by hand. Add a file _mounts.xml to a directory where Lensfun searches for your personal XMLs (it’s ~/.local/share/lensfun on Linux, I don’t know the path on Windows) with the following content:
<lensdatabase>
<mount>
<name>Sony E</name>
<compat>DKL</compat>
<compat>Generic</compat>
<compat>M42</compat>
<compat>Sony Alpha</compat>
<compat>T2</compat>
<compat>Minolta MD</compat>
</mount>
</lensdatabase>
