NAME
update-gconf-defaults - generate GConf defaults shipped in Debian packages
SYNOPSIS
update-gconf-defaults
[options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
update-gconf-defaults
command.
update-gconf-defaults
is responsible for generating defaults used by GConf from the files
found in
/usr/share/gconf/defaults.
The syntax of files in this directory consists in lines containing the
key name, some white space, and the key value, which can be an integer,
a boolean, a float, a string or a list of strings. Example:
/apps/myprogram/frob_number 42
/apps/myprogram/do_foo true
/apps/myprogram/priority 1.25
/apps/myprogram/name "Gotcha !"
/apps/myprogram/names [Ha ha!,Let's keep serious,Ho ho!]
Files are processed in alphabetical order. Files processed later take
precedence over the previous ones if they include the same defaults.
Thus, it is recommended to name
them
NN_package
with
NN
being a 2-digit number and
package
the package name. It is recommended to set
NN
as 10 for packages in the Debian archive, 20 for derived distributions,
50 for CDD distributions, and 90 for site-specific packages.
