Migrate from dbus-glib to glib's GDBus
Last modified: 2011-01-20 09:45:03 UTC
For GLib 2.25.5 GDBus D-Bus support was merged, providing an API to replace dbus-glib. See http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/gdbus.html and http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/ch28.html . According to a quick grep this module seems to use dbus-glib: # Check for dbus and dbus-glib or higher PKG_CHECK_MODULES(DBUS, [dbus-1 >= $DBUS_REQUIRED dbus-glib-1 >= $DBUS_GLIB_REQUIRED])
This was fixed earlier this week with the merge of the gdbus branch to master. commit 7578f3c7c3f35f9da426b9c530e8b8e20a4973f8 Author: Martyn Russell <martyn@lanedo.com> Date: Thu Jan 20 09:42:22 2011 +0000 build: Comment configure about why we still have dbus and dbus-glib-1 Fixes GB#622918, Migrate from dbus-glib to glib's GDBus An excerpt from that commit: # NOTE: dbus and dbus-glib-1 are only used now for libtracker-client # which is deprecated and tracker-writeback which will be refactored # shortly to use gdbus. The other place which requires dbus-glib-1 is # for HAL used in tracker-miner-fs if the alternative libraries are # not available. This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
