Hi,
After some thinking about this, I think that installing the .schema
files into /usr/share/gconf/schemas is a good idea, having a signal
hander in gconfd to reload is a good idea, but moving various files to
/var is a bad idea.
Havoc's points and arguments for not moving the installed defaults to
/var make sense to me, and I now don't see any problems with the current
setup in /etc/gconf. It's a small problem that there are
package-generated defaults in /etc which shouldn't be modified by the
local administrator, but these are restricted to a subset of the
defaults tree (/schemas) and I consider this to be insignificant enough
not to worry about. The rest of the files in
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults are admin-set defaults and are not changed
by packages.
At least, this is how I see it...
Josselin, this is different from your original proposal -- have any
comments?
Regards,
Ross
