Description Eric Heintzmann 2013-01-12 14:25:02 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:

Could you please check the codebase before blindly filing lots of reports?

This was fixed three years ago already.

>Could you please check the codebase before blindly filing lots of reports?

I've checked the Bugzilla before reporting these bugs. Isn't enough?
Comment 3 André Klapper 2013-01-12 14:49:59 UTC
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.
Comment 4 Eric Heintzmann 2013-01-12 15:02:05 UTC
But if my distro say that application X eats all my kittens?
Comment 5 André Klapper 2013-01-12 15:06:59 UTC
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.
Comment 6 Eric Heintzmann 2013-01-12 15:15:32 UTC
OK, but it will be more slowly.
Comment 7 André Klapper 2013-01-12 15:33:15 UTC
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.
