Bug 341503 – Keyword gnome-base/dconf

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pacho Ramos 2010-10-17 19:34:00 UTC]

It needs to be present or, otherwise, applications relying on gsettings will fail to store settings.

Would also be interesting to decide what package should pull it in deptree, I would vote for adding dconf as a PDEPEND of glib (since it's providing gsettings)


Reproducible: Always

@pacho, did you consider what's in the gconf changelog, that is setting:
GSETTINGS_BACKEND=gconf

until dconf is actually ready for use ?

And, do you think dconf is not still ready for general usage? Looks like other distributions like OpenSuSE and Fedora are using it with Gnome 2.32 :-/ (I would need to check Ubuntu also)

Maybe other option could be to RDEPEND on dconf for any application installing these schemas... but they will probably be a lot in the future :-/, this is why I think adding it as a PDEPEND to glib would be better
