I have just uploaded gconf2 2.12.1-1 to experimental. The package includes major changes, and therefore needs to be tested before going to unstable. First, I hereby proclaim the end of the overly long gconf subtrees. Following these suggestions: http://www.gnome.org/~lcolitti/gnome-startup/analysis/ I have merged all gconf directory structures into flat-file sources. This means startup and runtime speed is improved, and it also means less cluttering on the disk. There is now only one file, named %gconf-tree.xml, for each directory structure. The system-wide directories are taken care in the postinst, and I have added a Xsession script for ~/.gconf. Second, there's a (long-awaited) framework for easily setting defaults without patching the schema files. You can now drop files in /usr/share/gconf/defaults, with filenames starting with numbers, e.g. 20gnome-session. The number indicates the priority, greater numbers meaning you can overwrite defaults set in lower priorities. The format is very simple: each line consists in a key and a value, the type being autodetected. Running update-gconf-defaults results in making these defaults available even to running gconfd instances. Currently, the script is written in python, but if someone rewrites it in comprehensible perl, the dependency can be dropped. Of course, I will add support for it to dh_gconf to make it even easier. Now, GO AHEAD AND TEST IT. Then, WORLD DOMINATION. Good night, -- .''`. Josselin Mouette /\./\ : :' : josselin.mouette@ens-lyon.org `. `' joss@debian.org `- Debian GNU/Linux -- The power of freedom
