Fix for GConf 2.12.1 (1.84 KB, patch)
2006-03-04 13:26 UTC, Josselin Mouette 		none Details | Review

Description Josselin Mouette 2006-03-04 13:25:33 UTC 
Since the move to the merged-tree backend (that happened in 2.12 in Debian), we've been experiencing slowness at upgrade time for packages using GConf. This is because gconftool --makefile-(un)install-rule syncs the database on disc after processing each .schema file. When the database in a single 27 MB file, it can become quite slow (e.g. around a minute for gnome-applets).

Thanks much

        Based on patch from Josselin Mouette <joss@debian.org>
        in bug #333353 to speed up the install of multiple
        schem files

        * gconf/gconftool.c:
        (do_load_file): split do_sync() out of here
        (main), (do_makefile_install): call do_sync()
        after calling do_load_file()
