We still have packages that depend on gconf although it being abandonware by gnome for quite a while. There are at least two attempts I know of that provided a patch to convert gsettings-schema-convert to use python3 instead of python2: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759334 https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gconf/merge_requests/3
I don't know exactly which game needs it but my esteam tool detected gconf a requirement for something I have in Steam. I'll go ahead and do this soon if there's no objections.
Probably not relevant, but www-client/opera also requires gconf. I'm going to try to find out if they have any plans for changing that.
ping.
(In reply to Michał Górny from comment #3) > ping. I've been fairly inactive lately but this matters to me so I've picked it up tonight. Will try to update to EAPI 7 while I'm at it but gnome2.eclass might be an issue.
