DBus always struck me as quite a good piece of software. No exactly my field, but I have spoken to power programmers before who have said that it is often far easier to start from scratch than it is to try and throw a band-aid over old and/or obsoleted programs. I was surprised to find that many older programs that have undergone extensive rewrites have hundreds and sometimes thousands of lines of code that sit there doing nothing. In effect, commented out. There is an ongoing development of "kdbus" that aims to reimplement D_Bus as a kernel-mediated peer-to-peer inter-process communication mechanism, which would offer performance improvements and system integration. Since FreeBSD tends to be a "follower" rather than a "leader" in software development, if linux does eventually adopt this, then sooner-or-later, probably later, FreeBSD will do so also. --=20 Jerry --Sig_/92DvKoFN.Gsod2EVF_atvKZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJV+To6AAoJEElTsHIJnX8elxcIAI/1NVCFAhnx08YkFzeHFblQ tp+//HLkG2eWCQbvk8mkIQnnr7ph7IbB9CLKPCVO0bNQzuyFkzJCODEBjBagiZcb ecrkLHDZv+ZtTxxedJs8zhYzDL1Jfp7mH+ZkMyD6Upj5HKiV58InvBHEfMeYjwjb Mjd+0khn4TC+ZTc9cxLeXpRt8UWBm5ZSa3uvW3td+6DNwPsZd51JEaOjiXS0Dpw7 HrpCp8I22H+QpSH5OAbrNx4lb2AVi/LWDFDEUDkWMCrP5NEpxCrmZNHndofG8Z+g RNdqILFhL/Psdrvo7WHtHx5Thubr7BFy2pFCOfYMP3yof6ijTmxW3K7k/WFJc/I= =BOpB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/92DvKoFN.Gsod2EVF_atvKZ--
