[Fedora-packaging] Gconf schema files in packages

Hi, I've submitted a review ticket for hamster-time-tracker[1] and the build system employed (waf) installs the schema to the correct location %{_sysconfir}/gconf/schemas. The guidelines however say that it shouldnt[2]. I checked another package, revelation (build.log)[3], and the build system does *place* the file in the correct location, but doesn't employ the gconftool-2 to *register* the schemas. So, the question is: Should the build system *place* the file, but not *register* it? Or should the source's build system not *place* the file at all, and just *generate* it? RPM doesn't appear to pick up the file and place it if the build system doesn't. (I tested this by patching out the place schema command in the wscript for my package. It wasn't picked up automatically.) If the wiki page[2] means: *place* the file in the correct location but do not *register* it with the gconf daemon, can the language be improved? It currently says: "For packaging purposes, we have to disable schema *installation* during build, and also *register* the values in the [NAME] .schemas file with the gconf daemon on installation and unregister them on removal. Due to the ordering of the scriptlets, this is a four step process. " It would be clearer if it read something on the lines of: "For packaging purposes, we let the source's build system (autotools/waf/cmake/etc.) place the file in the correct location, but disable schema *registration/un-registration* using the methods described below. We register or un-register the schemas manually in the spec using the following scriptlets." Basically, it isn't clear what "disable install in the build" implies.
