GConf migration to GSettings for pulseaudio and paprefs

[Sylvain Baubeau]

Hello list,

I have been working on a task related to this feature
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GConfRemoval, which is marked as 90% done.

I created a pulseaudio plugin called module-gsettings that mimics the behaviour of the
module-gconf module. I already submitted the patch to the pulseaudio mailing list. The
maintainer seems to be ok with adding it, with some comments that I tried to address. It
adds a gschema for pulseaudio modules.

The main user of the old module-gconf is 'paprefs' which is unmaintained but is
probably still used. I therefore created a patch for paprefs to move from gconf to
gsettings. I did it so that a .convert file can be used to convert existing gconf
configuration to gsettings. I could not find any way to submit my patch to paprefs though
:-/

The pulseaudio patch is available here :
https://github.com/lebauce/pulseaudio/tree/module-gsettings
The paprefs patch is available here : https://github.com/lebauce/paprefs/tree/master

Any comment, review, advice, gsettings knowledge, test would be more than welcome !
And if you know how to submit patch to paprefs, please let me know otherwise, I'll
ping the last persons that commited to it.

Thank you,
Sylvain

Opening an RFE bug for paprefs in Fedora bugzilla might be a good start.
