nautilus-sendto needs GSettings, but not the gsettings-desktop-schemas. > I tried to use gsettings-desktop-schemas from source, but it needs > compiling, with a tool called gschema-compile, that is not yet packaged > too. gsettings-desktop-schemas contains desktop-wide configuration options that used to live in different places, in GConf, such as gnome-session, gnome-vfs, or libgnome. > Do you know if there are plans to package these?

GSettings, and the gschema-compile tool, are available in GLib starting somewhere in the 2.25.x releases. Debian probably needs a glib2 update. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
