GNOME Goal: Migrate from GConf to GSettings
Last modified: 2021-06-02 10:28:30 UTC
With GNOME 3.0 (april 2011), the GNOME Project decided to discontinue GConf. It won't be maintained anymore: bugs and security holes will not be fixed. Thus, planner shouldn't depend on GConf any longer. Please, migrate to GSettings. GStettings is the official GNOME replacement for GConf, and the GNOME project is porting all of its applications to it: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/GSettingsMigration You will find the official from GConf to GSettings porting guide at: http://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/ch31.html
Created attachment 373978 [details] [review] Switch from GConf to GSettings Attached is a patch I plan to apply to the planner package in Debian. GConf is going to be removed during the next development cycle so now is the last opportunity to make the migration. Note that the patch doesn't cater for the EDS plugin; it can't be built currently as it needs porting to the current APIs.
Closing this ticket before any mass-closing of bugzilla tickets due to bugzilla shutdown for better extra information: The patch from here is included in https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/planner/-/merge_requests/22 with some follow-up tweaks. Hopefully that MR will get merged soon.
