Hi,
I'm trying to package polly [1] for F16. Everything works fine but obviously the package makes GConf schemas only available for root, not for normal users.
Any hints on where my mistake is? Spec: http://vinz.fedorapeople.org/polly/polly.spec Src: http://vinz.fedorapeople.org/polly/polly-395bzr.tar.gz
That could be regression in gconftool-2. Many years ago we've had to SIGHUP gconfd-2 at the end of the scriptlets. Later on, a "reload" patch applied to gconftool has made that unnecessary:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=GConf2.git;a=tree;h=e3e569b49588b8c9...
That patch has been dropped with the upgrade from GConf 2.32.x to 3.1.3 in 2011. It has not been merged either, possibly because the code uses a different method to signal the daemon.
What I can reproduce with F-16 is that installing the package does not make available the schemas unless I SIGHUP gconfd-2 manually (or restart it).
