Description Julio Merino 2003-01-26 21:23:42 UTC 
Currently there is no easy way to remove installed schemas from the GConf database. This is a problem for package systems, as they cannot easily "undo" the changes done during the installation.

This feature should be implemented with a --makefile-deinstall-rule option, so it is --makefile-install-rule 's counterpart.

See discussion in gconf-list for more details: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gconf-list/2003-January/msg00017.html

I think s/deinstall/uninstall/ would be good for consistency 
with "make uninstall"

Otherwise it looks good.
Comment 4 Julio Merino 2003-03-09 13:46:44 UTC 
I used "deinstall" because that is what I'm used to do when deinstalling packages in the pkgsrc system: "make deinstall". But feel free to name it as you like.

BTW, I have been using this patch for a while and seems to work flawless ;)

I just attached a new patch which applies to the current GConf HEAD
and appears to work for me.
