Hi all, Has anyone had a chance to look at this patch Dave submitted? I'm pretty interested in the direction gconf is going so I was wondering if anyone had thoughts? Would it be better if he attached it to a bug so it can be tracked properly?
As far as the move to dbus goes, is it something that has to be done in one leap or would it be acceptable to move incrementally? I'm thinking it might be better to wait until a complete dbus migration patch is available so that we don't have to worry about having with two buses running around in the daemon. What ever happened to that gconf replacement-ish thing that was discussed on the list back in... 2005, was it? I went back to read that thread after someone mentioned it a few months ago. It'd be interesting to see the state of that work. Does anyone know anything about it? Is the migration to dbus or any other improvement to gconf considered a priority at this time? I'm just wondering as a curious user :-) Martin On 2/15/07, David Vanderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I have attached a rough patch as a start towards goal #1 on: > > http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/plans.html > > Please comment and let me know if I'm even going in the right direction. > Here's what it does: > > - converts simple Get and Set requests, as well as notifications, to > run over dbus (everything else still goes over corba, including > changesets I think) > - gconfd exits on startup if it can't own the "org.gnome.gconf" name > - uses dbus 1.0 api > > Known badness: > - gconfd broadcasts notifications to everyone > - handling dbus messages uses polling > - error checking is severely lacking > > Thanks to Imendio for some good starting code for putting GConfValues > through dbus that I shamelessly ripped. > > Thanks, > Dave > > _______________________________________________ > gconf-list mailing list > gconf-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gconf-list > > _______________________________________________ gconf-list mailing list gconf-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gconf-list
