Description Colin Walters 2013-05-21 23:42:46 UTC 
A separate patch adds support for the --bus-no-fork command line
argument to dbus-launch.  See that patch for extended rationale, but
basically we want to ensure that activated services (and the bus
daemon itself) have the systemd journal as stdout/stderr, and not
/dev/null.

However we can't hard depend on dbus from git, so allow builders
to specify a configure option to enable.

Note this patch is not complete; we need to also use this dbus-launch for the login session.

Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2013-05-23 19:03:38 UTC 
Couldn't we just set DBUS_DEBUG_OUTPUT=1 in the environment (but leave DBUS_VERBOSE unset) ?
