--- Begin Message ---Package: gconf Severity: wishlist I keep my home directory in version control, as a means of sharing it across systems, keeping it backed up, and tracking changes to it. I'd like to add some of my gconf configuration to version control as well. However, gconf contains various types of preferences, some of which I want to version and some of which I do not. For instance, I would like to version /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces, /apps/evolution/mail/display/thread_list, and most of /apps/gnome-terminal, but I do not want to version /apps/evolution/last_version, /apps/gnome-settings/gnome-panel/history-gnome-run, or /apps/meld/window_size_{x,y}. Thus, I'd like the ability to have multiple readwrite gconf stores, with different (non-overlapping) sets of preferences stored in each. I could then have all the prefs I want to version stored in one file, machine-specific prefs stored in another file (bonus if I can use the hostname in the filename, so all the machine-specific files can coexist in parallel), all the prefs I never want to version in a file to ignore, and all other prefs in a new file so I can check and classify them. This potentially shares some goals with online-prefs-sync, which would also benefit from having a list of preferences safe to sync across machines, and which provides some support for the idea of safely changing a store underneath gconf and having it notice. However, it differs in several ways, most notably the use of local stores for everything. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-rc4 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
