Description Luca Marturana 2007-05-08 17:11:23 UTC
From the homepage of the project:

gconf-cleaner
A Cleaning tool for GConf

GConf Cleaner is to clean up the unknown/invalid gconf keys that still sitting down on your gconf database.

I suggest to use gnome-extra.

Comment 2 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-08 18:53:53 UTC
This tool is _dangerous_ and unless upstream Gnome sees interest in it, I doubt any of us will add it in portage.

First of all, some gnome software don't use gconf schemas at all or have incomplete schemas for practical reasons (NetworkManager comes to mind). This won't be detected and can break stuff.

Second, we don't "uninstall" old gconf schemas when a package is removed (for historical reasons, maybe we'll do it later). So old stuff might even still be tied to a schema that isn't there anymore.

Given these arguments, I still encourage you to post updated ebuilds here for others to find, while gconf-cleaner matures a little :) Thanks for posting your work here.

OK, I understand and agree to your reasons. ;)

align ebuild requests to same values
Comment 8 Frederic LIETART 2008-12-31 09:25:45 UTC
Bump request
Comment 9 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-31 15:31:48 UTC
Again, we still don't feel convinced by the benefits of this tool over the damages it can cause.

Feel free to update the ebuild here or to have it included in Sunrise.

Thanks
