D-BUS 1.0.1

[particlehunter]

new version (now 1.0.1)

some details about this new version:

• API/ABI freeze for 1.0
• Bindings are now split out into seperate packages
• ListActivatableNames added as a method on the bus
• Removed deprecated dbus_connection_disconnect (use dbus_connection_close)
• Shared connections are now unreffed on disconnect
• Fixed pending calls for threaded enviornments
• Pending calls get timed out on connection disconnect
• dbus_connection_send_with_reply returns TRUE and a NULL pending call if you call it on a connection object which has been disconnected already (it returns FALSE on Out of Memory errors only)
• dbus-monitor now correctly catches methods, not just signals
• dbus-monitor now prints object paths

The glib and python bindings have been seperated from the main tarball. When building the glib binding it tries to run udev-send which can't work when you're building in a chroot since the daemon isn't started. This patch fixes that:

This issue was actually mentioned on Planet Gnome just yesterday. Apparently, they're trying to figure out the best way to handle this (possibly shipping a prebuilt introspection file). The developer has suggested adding the file below to the tools/ directory of the dbus-glib package. Here's the file and his blog entry.

I haven't tried this out, but it looks like from the Makefile that just dropping it in tools/ would be sufficient.

We're now up to dbus-1.0.1 (though I don't appear to be able to change the bug title!). Required deps are pkg-config and libxml2, optional deps are X and SELinux, from what I can gather. I think the udev-send issue in the glib bindings has been fixed in dbus-glib-0.72. There's no occurrence of udevsend in that tarball and there's comments in NEWS and Changelog regarding using `dbus-daemon --introspect' to generate the DBus service introspect XML.
