Hello,
I am packaging LaTeXila, a LaTeX editor for GNOME. In the latest
version, the upstream author rewrote all this program, switching to Vala
instead of C, plus did some other changes.
[1] http://latexila.sourceforge.net/
One of these changes makes LaTeXila depend, at runtime, on
gsettings-desktop-schemas [2]. This is “a collection of GSettings
schemas for settings shared by various components of a desktop”, not yet
packaged on Debian. It did not know what GSettings was, but it seems to
be a replacement for GConf.
[2] http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/gsettings-desktop-schemas/0.0/
GSettings seems to be already used somehow by some programs such as
empathy, gnome-shell and nautilus-sendto, according to apt-file:
empathy: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.Empathy.gschema.xml
gnome-shell: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.shell.gschema.xml
nautilus-sendto: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.Nautilus.Sendto.gschema.xml
I tried to use gsettings-desktop-schemas from source, but it needs
compiling, with a tool called gschema-compile, that is not yet packaged
too.
Do you know if there are plans to package these? I think they will get
more used on the future, and maybe become mandatory for GNOME.
Unfortunately, I do not know these GNOME things very well.
