GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 691604
Migrate from GConf to GSettings
Last modified: 2013-01-12 20:44:49 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, GNOME Phone Manager 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
Could you please check the codebase before blindly filing lots of reports? This was fixed three years ago already. http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-power-manager/commit/?id=632c95b59e09cef742446ef752f2c1f24ffcd68d
>Could you please check the codebase before blindly filing lots of reports? I've checked the Bugzilla before reporting these bugs. Isn't enough?
Obviously not. Just because there is no bug report about "Application X eats all my kittens!!!" does not automatically mean that application X eats all my kittens.
But if my distro say that application X eats all my kittens?
Then you should check your distro's patches and/or have a serious conversation with your distro. In any case, GNOME is not your distro and I'd expect a bug reporter to actually identify a bug in GNOME code before filing a report.
OK, but it will be more slowly.
It can be as slow as possible, but at least it will not waste GNOME developers' and GNOME bugsquad's time by filing tickets about imaginary problems.
