Description Marc-Antoine Perennou 2011-12-12 23:59:44 UTC

The "--uninstall" argument of glib-compile-schemas is basically a dummy argument, it never did anything at least since the tool was renamed, was always documented as this, and has been removed from development versions of glib.
See URL

Reproducible: Always

Confirming. The "--uninstall" argument was introduced in glib-2.25.6, and in >=glib-2.25.11 is deprecated and has no effect.

The "gnome2_schemas_update --uninstall" documentation has been removed from gnome2-utils.eclass, and gnome2.eclass and gtk+-3.x ebuilds now call gnome2_schemas_update without "--uninstall".

However, a number of ebuilds in the tree still contain calls to "gnome2_schemas_update --uninstall", and they will need to be fixed.

I am unsure if we need to wait for respective maintainers to drop that option or we could fix them ourselves, the change looks completely safe :-/

All uses of "gnome2_schemas_update --uninstall" in the tree have been removed. Marking as fixed.
