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.

@SkyyySi, do you have the package libxml2 installed on your system?

When trying to build this, I get the following error: "checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool" (without the ""). I have installed it by installing the pantheon-session-git AUR package, does that have something to do with it?

I'm going to orphan this as all applications I use have ported away from gconf.

==> Starting prepare()...
[...]/chromedriver/dependencies/gconf/PKGBUILD: line 34: patch: command not found
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...

I think patch should be added to makedepends.

Thanks

For some reason you need to install manually gobject-introspection package before making gconf otherwise it won't work because of missing M4.

@Improvotter: could you paste the command you've run and relevant terminal outputs? I'd like to understand what's going on before making changes.

Just tried to build this. I do not know if it is temporary or not, but gitlab.gnome.org is not reachable. Had to build gconf-gtk instead.
