It seems the KDBus people are keen to keep quiet and avoid bikeshedding until they have a fully-working prototype, which seems reasonable (as long as feedback is taken into account once it works). I think the plan for KDBus (unlike earlier kernel-assisted-D-Bus prototypes) was for the kernel part to take over all of dbus-daemon's responsibilities, at which point "that's a dbus-daemon feature" would become "that's a dbus-daemon or kdbus feature, depending on platform". Known dbus-daemon implementations: * libdbus' reference dbus-daemon (from fd.o dbus/dbus.git) - the one everyone uses now, in practice - Collabora's efforts towards kernel-assisted D-Bus (AF_BUS and AF_DBUS) also used libdbus' dbus-daemon (suitably modified) rather than a rewrite; the kernel part took over parts of its functionality, but the dbus-daemon still did non-fast-path bits like name ownership * GLib's gdbus-daemon (from GNOME glib.git) - mainly intended for regression tests; I don't think it has the full dbus-daemon feature-set, particularly not the system bus parts, but it might be enough to implement a session bus * ndesk-dbus (dbus-sharp)'s "managed dbus-daemon" - I'm sure it used to exist, but I can't even find source code for this _______________________________________________ dbus mailing list <a href="mailto:dbus@lists.freedesktop.org">dbus@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dbus" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dbus</a> </blockquote></div> </div>
