Description Eric Heintzmann 2013-01-12 12:38:50 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, f-spot 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:

"create the bug report on the GNOME bugzilla and make it block bug 622558."

Yes, the whole gnome 3 migration has been on my mind. Thanks for creating a bug to track this as well as for the links... Those will be useful.

Later this year, and through out it, there is a large effort to get all of the mono based applications completely converted over to all things gnome 3. ie, gtk-sharp3 and friends.

f-spot is not under active development anymore, has not seen code changes for five years, and saw its last tarball release in the year 2010.
Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/f-spot/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
