Hi guys, The new GConf Schema Guidelines ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GConf_Scriptlets_%28draft%29 ) have been approved by FPC and ratified by FESCo. In order to put them into effect we need to get two files installed by some package. * The /etc/rpm/macros.gconf file holds the rpm macros that hide the implementation details of installing GConf schema. These need to be present when the rpm's of GConf using packages are built. * The /var/lib/rpm-state/gconf directory holds temporary files that keep state for GConf schema between the %pre and %post stages of the rpm transaction. This needs to be available at package install time. To handle the macros file I think we should add them to redhat-rpm-config. Jon, is that fine with you? To handle the state directory, I think GConf2 should own: %dir %{_localstatedir}/lib/rpm-state/gconf Since nothing currently owns /var/lib/rpm-state, we probably want it (and anything else that uses the directory in the future) to own: %dir %{_localstatedir}/lib/rpm-state as well. Does this seem like a good plan to everyone? I can submit bugzilla reports to track the changes going into packages and update the Guidelines for the Fedora Releases where this feature becomes available if this is good. Also, FESCo asked if there was a plan to mass update all the packages. Do you guys want to have that happen? I told FESCo that the old way of writing GConf install scripts was fine. Just a bit slower and with more text to write into every spec file. -Toshio
