[opensuse-factory] Fwd: Opensuse Mate branding
Hello everyone ! I'm now a maintainer of the Mate development project and we are working on Factory. But after discussing with the main maintainer of Mate project, we have a little conflict and I need your opinion. For providing a default desktop, Gnome use gsettings schemes in glib2-branding-opensuse. I have purposed to add our keys in glib2-branding.gschema.override.in because I want to purpose the same experience that Gnome2. But he wants to use a gschema.override.in in a mate-desktop specific branding package. What do you think about this ? Regards.

This will become a fun experience I guess.... maintaining it in a mate-branding-openSUSE package sounds obvious for the reason that it's easily pulled in by mate.. and clearly associates that this is the 'default configuration for mate'. Using glib2-branding-openSUSE (or any other gsettings override for the matter!): we'll need to find a clear way to ensure that settings from Mate will not disturb the GNOME 3 setup and, of course, also the other way around. - What would be your strong arguments a against using a mate-branding-openSUSE package? - What kind of settings do you anticipate to publish in this branding package? - How will (possible) conflicts between the two overrides be handled? (Of course, if Mate uses an own 'gsettings' namespace, instead of org.gnome.*, then there won't ever be conflicts... not sure if it does.. if it doesn't, it probably should :) ) Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
