Hello [email protected]

I have a few questions regarding D-Bus and BLFS/LFS

Where is the BLFS SVN instruction for the D-Bus system daemon? It is no
longer in http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/dbus.html.

I am preparing for KDE using BLFS SVN. In
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/kde/config.html there is
an optional dependency on D-Bus. KDE is started using "exec
ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde".
This starts the session deamon. That is fine.

The BLFS 7.5 instruction still mentions a system-wide daemon:
groupadd -g 18 messagebus &&
useradd -c "D-Bus Message Daemon User" -d /var/run/dbus \
         -u 18 -g messagebus -s /bin/false messagebus
and
make install-dbus from blfs-bootscripts.
"...Note that this boot script only starts the system-wide D-Bus daemon..."

The LFS SVN I have used has a D-Bus instruction but there is no
configuration instruction for the system-wide daemon only for the the
session daemon
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/dbus.html

Is the SVN BLFS D-Bus system daemon instruction moved to another place
in BLFS SVN, or is it no longer needed, or is it up to the user to
configure?

Yes, I have a ticket for that. It's not needed for the systemd side of things. In the meantime, use the blfs bootscripts: make install-dbus
