gnome installations do not register the schema files with gconf

[reiffert@…]

Gnome ports install schema files to ${prefix}/etc/gconf/schema/ Those files need to be registered along with gconftool-2. Placing them in the directory is not enough.

I recently discovered the advantages and allready added the following scope to port:gnucash port:gnome-vfs and port:yelp It appears that port:gnome-control-center does it equally.

post-activate {
        # We need to register some stuff to gconf. Just putting the
        # schema files to the right place is not enough.
        # You can watch the successful installation with gconf-editor.

        system "cd ${prefix}/etc/gconf/schemas && \
        GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`${prefix}/bin/gconftool-2 --get-default-source` ${p
refix}/bin/gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule \
                desktop_default_applications.schemas \
                desktop_gnome_url_handlers.schemas \
                system_dns_sd.schemas \
                system_http_proxy.schemas \
                system_smb.schemas"
}

Please remember to replace those schemas through the port's schema files you are upgrading.

You can validate the successful schema registration by launching gconf-editor.

Kind regards Thomas
