Gconf, kconfig, dconf, elektra, etc ?
August 27, 2007
So, we have gnome‘s gconf, KDE‘s kconfig (yes, the same name as the target when you want to configure a linux kernel using a qt interface), but we also have dconf, which is a new configuration system for gnome (yes, the same name as this) and elektra, which is even more ambitious.
As an application developper, my initial reaction to this list is a little despair : << Ouch! Do they all expect me to follow their trail!?>> Then my second reaction is : <<Eh, I’m an ekiga developper, and I already coded a wrapper for the system configuration — so hopefully, whichever wins, ekiga will easily switch>>.
