GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 383044
gconf doesn't clean up after itself
Last modified: 2018-08-17 14:00:24 UTC
With the merged tree markup backend gconf --recursive-unset doesn't prune empty directories, so all the entries in the directories get removed, but the actual directory entries don't. Downstream bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216223
GConf has been deprecated since 2011. GConf is not under active development anymore. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gconf/commits/master dconf and gsettings are its successors. See https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/ch34.html and https://developer.gnome.org/GSettings/ for porting info. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Feel free to open a task in GNOME Gitlab if the issue described in this task still applies to a recent + supported version of dconf/gsettings. Thanks!
