Package: libdbus-glib-1-dev Version: 0.100.2-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream wontfix
dbus-glib is deprecated and should not be used in new software. It is not at all thread-safe and has some nasty design flaws that cannot be fixed compatibly. For general-purpose uses of D-Bus, the recommended replacement is GDBus, part of the libgio library shipped with GLib. This is a higher-level, thread-safe D-Bus library. libdbus-glib-1-dev already depends on a version of libglib2.0-dev that contains the GDBus APIs. For uses that require GLib main-loop integration for the low-level reference implementation of D-Bus (libdbus), the recommended replacement is the dbus-gmain module, which is provided as a branch in dbus-glib upstream git and can be bundled in larger software projects as a git subtree or submodule (for example, dbus-python since 1.2.6 uses this). smcv
