2013-02-18Eliminate unwanted whitespace from the man pages' XML sourceSimon McVittie6-28/+22
As demanded by the git commit hook set up by autogen.sh, this eliminates trailing whitespace on each line, and blank lines at EOF. We might as well do this now, since every line in these files has changed anyway.

This no longer serves any purpose, and might mislead contributors into thinking that this XML is not the source for the man pages.

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.)

Architectural assumptions inside dbus-launch mean that it is unsuitable for use in contexts where a particular process's lifetime defines the session, unless there is an out-of-band mechanism (like the X server) which can signal the end of the session.

2012-06-15dbus-launch: revise recommendations and put them in an EXAMPLES sectionSimon McVittie1-17/+32
The first thing we should talk about is how to get a D-Bus session in your X session - that's the common case. Secondarily, we can tell command-line addicts how to have a D-Bus session. Do not recommend --exit-with-session here, since that polls (and reads from) stdin, which is harmful to precisely those command-line users! Until we have some better tool, the best we can do here is note that the dbus-daemon is not automatically terminated.
