Most of the packages that “require” it are actually Electron apps that copy&pasted their dependency lists from elsewhere or failed to update them: Chromium (and subsequently Electron) haven’t been dependent on this for years.

If you want to help, you can ask the maintainers of all those apps if they really still need gconf.

None that I use still need it (spotify and hamsket-bin), and their maintainers removed the superfluous dependency.

If you got build issues, please make sure

  1. base-devel group is installed [1]
  2. you are not using a broken AUR helper like pacaur. See https://github.com/E5ten/pacaur/issues/14.

If the build is still not working, use clean chroots [2] to build it.

@orchasi For a temporary workaround, clone the upstream repo, convert the python file gsettings-schema-convert to be python3-compatible (e.g. install 2to3 via pip and run that), then edit gconf's PKGBUILD so that it uses your repo and remove the command to run 2to3.

Sorry for being absent; I am no longer able to maintain this, hopefully someone else can adopt

@c0d3z3r0, mind letting me know any temporary workaround for 2to3?

c0d3z3r0 commented on 2025-01-06 11:02 (UTC)

2to3 should be replaced by a plain patch

jusw85 commented on 2025-01-01 06:14 (UTC)

Fails to build in a clean chroot: 2to3 has been removed from python

@buttcake I ran into the same issue and solved it by exiting the conda environment.

Anyone having build issues ? I have python-setuptools installed.

pacman -S glib2-devel

add glib2-devel as makedependency
