Re: [blfs-dev] Firefox needs gconf
TI want to apologize to Tim who first reported the issue. During the "race to release", I have not always monitored all the messages on the list, specially concerning packages I was not supposed to check, so I was not aware that the issue had been reported. Sorry about that. |Pierre | -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Has FF been tested without gconf? -- Bruce It builds and starts OK without gconf. Maybe using gconf would avoids this kind of messages, which appear when starting FF from a terminal: - GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications. - Maybe "our definition" of gconf is not exact... OTOH, I prefer option a) too. The behavior respective to gconf changed for versions 41 and up. So it is normal that this problem is not addresssed for TB, which is at 38.2.

I don't think it is going to help us in any way. I have gconf, always, because update gnome. I vote for option a). As you often say, Bruce, we are in -dev. Cam't believe that firefox would become or remain definitely dependent as required on gconf2. BTW, wherever does the modification, it ould be done in the three: FF, TB, SM And please, remove from mosconfig libnotify. What to do with libnotify in the dependencies, remains to be decided, for the three, All indicatess until now it is broken, but if not, woulf be optional, runtime. -- []s, Fernando, aka Sísifo -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
