Hi! In the last releases dbus has been split up in seperate packages, one for the core libraries and the daemon and the various bindings in their own packages. Which is ofcourse good news.
Apart from that the core library had a soname bump, a deprecated function has
been removed. Unfortunately the function (dbus_connection_disconnect) is
still used by various applications, so these need a little patching
(s/dbus_connection_disconnect/dbus_connection_close/)..
Recently all the needed pieces of have been uploaded to experimental and some
testing has been done with running the new dbus with the old core bindings
and rebuilding gnome packages against the new versions. Apart from the
patching mentioned above, no problems were encountered.
If there are no concerns from the release team, i would like to start
uploading the new dbus packages to unstable at the end of the coming weekend.
In the mean-time we'll be filing bugs with patches for the packages that
still use dbus_connection_disconnect.
