# DConf-0.32.0 / DConf-Editor-3.32.0

## Introduction to DConf

The DConf package contains a low-level configuration system. Its main purpose is to provide a backend to GSettings on platforms that don't already have configuration storage systems.

The DConf-Editor, as the name suggests, is a graphical editor for the DConf database. Installation is optional, because gsettings from GLib-2.60.6 provides similar functionality on the commandline.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-9.0 platform.
