dbus-glib is a deprecated D-Bus library with some significant design
flaws, and is essentially unmaintained. I would like to minimize its
use, and eventually remove it from Debian. There will not be a
version that fixes its design flaws, because that would be a major
compatibility break, and any user of dbus-glib who is willing to port
their application to a newer, incompatible version should instead be
porting their application to a better D-Bus implementation such as
GDBus.
For most purposes, the recommended replacement for dbus-glib is the
GDBus family of APIs in GLib, found in <gio/gio.h>. This does not add
an additional dependency, because dbus-glib already depends on a
sufficiently new version of GLib. A porting guide is available in the
GLib documentation:
<https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/ch35.html>. Practical
examples of porting from dbus-glib to GDBus can be found in the git
history of most older GNOME applications.
Alternatives to GDBus, with different design emphasis and trade-offs,
include sd-bus (systemd's D-Bus implementation), QtDBus (Qt's D-Bus
API), and libdbus (the low-level reference D-Bus implementation).
Please contact the D-Bus mailing list <dbus at lists.freedesktop.org>
if you are unsure which D-Bus implementation is most suitable for a
particular package.
Some libraries expose dbus-glib as part of their API/ABI, in which
case removing the deprecated dependency requires breaking API/ABI
(telepathy-glib is a good example). For these libraries, maintainers
should talk to the dependent library's upstream developers about
whether the dependent library should break API/ABI and switch to
GDBus, or whether the dependent library should itself be deprecated.
In a few cases, the package uses the reference D-Bus library libdbus
for all D-Bus-related APIs, and only uses dbus-glib as a way to
connect libdbus to the GLib main loop: if the only functions
referenced from dbus-glib are dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main() and
dbus_server_setup_with_g_main(), then you are in this situation. The
recommended replacement in this case is to bundle the dbus-gmain
branch from the dbus-glib git repository, for example as a `git
subtree` or `git submodule`. For example, dbus-python's GLib
integration now works like this. See
<https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus-glib/blob/dbus-gmain/README
.md> for more details.

Closes: 955896 967866
Changes:
gmpc-plugins (11.8.16-5) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Team upload
* d/control: Update for move to salsa.debian.org
* d/gbp.conf: Configure DEP-14 branch names
* Remove unused B-D on libglade2-dev (Closes: #967866)
* d/p/kill-term.patch: Use git-style dialect of DEP-3.
This is easier to deal with when using gbp-pq or similar, and just as
good as the "default" dialect of DEP-3 otherwise.
* d/p/awn-Port-from-deprecated-dbus-glib-to-GDBus.patch,
d/p/mmkeys-Port-from-deprecated-dbus-glib-to-GDBus.patch:
* Port two plugins from dbus-glib to GDBus (Closes: #955896)
* d/p/mmkeys-Merge-Vala-CCode-attributes.patch,
d/p/mmkeys-Fix-name-of-type-generated-by-Vala.patch:
Add patches to fix FTBFS with newer Vala
* d/p/mmkeys-Adapt-for-recent-gnome-settings-daemon.patch:
Add patch for compatibility with newer gnome-settings-daemon
* Drop unused dependency on gob2.
This is only used by the jamendo and tagedit plugins, which were
disabled in 2016 due to #807735.
* Remove unused dependency on taglib (libtagc).
This is only used by the tagedit plugin, which was disabled.
* Remove unused dependencies on libmicrohttpd-dev, libcurl, ICU,
json-glib, lirc, xosd. These don't seem to be used in the source
code at all.
* Update Description to reflect reality.
Several plugins were removed or disabled, and two were added.
* d/copyright: Consolidate copyright information
* Set Rules-Requires-Root to no
* Use debhelper compat level 12
- Drop explicit use of autoreconf, it is now the default
