There are many packages in BLFS whose purpose and functions I don't really understand. Even when I try to learn about them the descriptions are cryptic and I still have questions. Dbus is one of those.
I've installed it because it was a dependency for either dhcpcd or wpa_supplicant. But now that I have it, I want to make it "earn its keep." I know that it allows one application to "talk" to another one, but that's the extent of my knowledge. While looking for something else, I discovered a configure switch in xorg-server--"--enable-config-dbus." I'm thinking about re-building the server with this enabled. What gain or advantage is there? Would someone please give me an example? One thing that I thought of was it might be useful when I build network manager. If my thinking is correct, then network manager in graphics mode, xorg, my window manager and wpa_supplicant could all "talk back and forth" to one another. Am I on the right track or is this over-simplified? Or is it irrelevant? :) Thanks, Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
