Hi all, Recently I orphaned some of my packages which have a dependency on gconf. GConf was used in GNOME 2 as the settings storage daemon. It's deprecated since 2010 in favor of GSettings, and does not receive any fixes since 2013. I would propose to remove it from the official repositories. The following packages are fully functional without GConf: - aisleriot (FS#60000) - brasero (FS#59978) - emacs (FS#59887) - firefox-developer-edition - firefox (FS#59992) - gnome-terminal (FS#59980) - ibus (requires gsettings-schema-convert during build if the dconf module is enabled) - qcef (libcef must be built from sources to disable gconf usage) - steam-native-runtime (FS#60036) - thunderbird (FS#59993) The following packages were ported from GConf to GSettings, but not released yet: - ekiga - ogmrip The following packages were not ported yet and have inactive upstream: - alleyoop - apcupsd (only the GUI part) - billreminder - ccgo - docky - gnome-alsamixer - gnome-do - gnome-schedule - gsql - hamster-time-tracker - muine - planner - tomboy - vmoviedb After the above packages were fixed or removed, GConf and related packages can be removed too: - gconf - gconf-editor - gconfmm - gconf-sharp - lib32-gconf - python2-gconf Any objections? -- György Balló Trusted User
