./sysutils/dbus, Message bus system

Branch: pkgsrc-2013Q1, Version: 1.6.12, Package name: dbus-1.6.12, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

D-BUS is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications.
Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in terms
of complexity.

D-BUS supports broadcast messages, asynchronous messages (thus decreasing
latency), authentication, and more. It is designed to be low-overhead;
messages are sent using a binary protocol, not using XML. D-BUS also
supports a method call mapping for its messages, but it is not required;
this makes using the system quite simple.

This package provides the D-BUS core library and daemon, as well as
some utilities that complement it.

   Update to 1.6.10:

   D-Bus 1.6.10 (2013-04-24)
   ==

   The “little-known facts about bananas” release.

   • Following Unicode Corrigendum #9, the noncharacters U+nFFFE, U+nFFFF,
     U+FDD0..U+FDEF are allowed in UTF-8 strings again.
     (fd.o #63072, Simon McVittie)

   • Diagnose incorrect use of dbus_connection_get_data() with negative slot
     (i.e. before allocating the slot) rather than returning junk
     (fd.o #63127, Dan Williams)

   • In the activation helper, when compiled for tests, do not reset the system
     bus address, fixing the regression tests. (fd.o #52202, Simon)

   • Fix building with Valgrind 3.8, at the cost of causing harmless warnings
     with Valgrind 3.6 on some compilers (fd.o #55932, Arun Raghavan)

   • Don't leak temporary fds pointing to /dev/null (fd.o #56927, Michel \ 
HERMIER)

   • Create session.d, system.d directories under CMake (fd.o #41319,
     Ralf Habacker)

   • Unix-specific:
     · Include alloca.h for alloca() if available, fixing compilation on
       Solaris 10 (fd.o #63071, Dagobert Michelsen)
