Hey, with the GLib 2.25.1 and GConf 2.31.1 releases that I've made yesterday, the results of last weeks GSettings hackfest are now available.
Some pieces of the puzzle are still missing: - Dconf is still being worked on - Support for lists of settings (like a lists of accounts, or /desktop/gnome/url-handlers) is not there yet - The handling of enums is not very convenient yet But we have more than enough in place now to let you start porting applications: - Several fully functional backends - API documentation: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/2.25/settings.html - Man pages: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/2.25/tools.html - A porting guide: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/2.25/ch23.html - An example: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-utils/log/?h=gsettings-tutorial Playing around with what we have now would be very helpful for discovering the (undoubtedly existing) oversights and omissions in the GSettings API. We recommend to use the GConf backend (see the gnome-utils example for how to do that) until dconf is ready for prime time. So, the race is on for the first release of a GSettings-based application.
