./sysutils/dbus, Message bus system

Branch: pkgsrc-2008Q4, Version: 1.2.4.2nb2, Package name: dbus-1.2.4.2nb2, 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.

   Pkgsrc changes:
    o Modify one of the patches with a patch reported as part of
      PR#40347 to make this package build on NetBSD 4.0 and probably
      earlier versions as well.  Many thanks to Hasso Tepper for the
      patch.

   Log message:
   Update from version 1.2.4.2nb1 to 1.2.4.2nb2.

   Pkgsrc changes:
    o Add BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM settings which deactivate -fPIE and -pie
      in the compiler invocation.  The configure script of this package
      checks to see if gcc accepts those options, and uses them if it
      does.  However, apparently that does not mean that we universally
      will be able to run the resulting executables -- on NetBSD/4.0
      macppc the run-time linker says
        "Unsupported relocation type 6 in non-PLT relocations"

   Tested that the dbus-daemon executable remains runnable on both i386
   and that it is so now on macppc.

   Thanks to jmcneill@ and joerg@ for hints leading to this fix.
