2013-10-08Spec: document multiple .service files own the same well known nameChengwei Yang1-3/+22
In current dbus-daemon(1) implement, system .serivce must named after its owned name, but this is not the case for session .service. For session service, the result of multiple .service files own the same well known name is undefined since readdir(3) doesn't return dirent in a defined sequence.

2013-09-13Remove obscure "low-latency" parts in the introduction of specJustin Lee1-9/+4
According to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_%28engineering%29#Packet-switched_networks latency means "the time from the source sending a packet to the destination receiving it". Therefore, latency is unrelated to whether the operation is asynchronous or synchronous. And also unrelated to whether it's one-way or round-trip. Latency exists for asynchronous and one-way transfer, because for current DBus implementations we need at least one context switch to transfer each message from the sender process to the receiver process. Emphasizing D-Bus is low-latency could encourage user to abuse/misuse the system.

2013-09-03Allow dbus-daemon --nofork on WindowsSimon McVittie1-4/+10
On Windows, the dbus-daemon is not able to fork (daemonize). If someone explicitly requests forking, it should fail, but if someone explicitly requests *not* forking, there seems no harm in allowing it. A few of the regression tests specifically require a dbus-daemon that will not fork, so allowing this option on Windows means those tests don't need an extra OS condition.

2013-08-23dbus-run-session: remove various extra variables from the environmentSimon McVittie1-0/+7
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID is not mandatory to set, but we should unset it if present, since it points to a different session's bus. Likewise for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_WINDOWID. Similarly, if DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE and DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS are set (as they would be under GNOME Terminal 3.8, see <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63119>) then they are likely to point to a different session's bus.

2012-11-13Don't include generated documentation in the tarballSimon McVittie1-4/+2
Building it unconditionally causes problems for minimal installations (OSTree), and building it opportunistically means the tarball isn't guaranteed to contain it, depending who releases libdbus and which packages they happen to have installed at the time. If this documentation is important enough that we need to ship it precompiled in tarballs, we should guarantee it; or if it isn't important enough to justify that, we should just drop it. I don't think we really need it in the tarballs at all: most users will get their libdbus from a binary distribution (in which case I expect the distribution's dbus maintainers to set appropriate build-dependencies), and those who build from source can either install xmlto, read the documentation on our website, or at worst, read the source XML. (We don't put the Doxygen-generated API reference HTML in the tarball either, and I haven't heard any complaints.)
