Seeing all the blue lines of CIM <--> DBus I thought I would remind folks that the realmd cim provider has a nice DBus module that sits between the extremely low level DBus API and the very high level DBus GObject/GType API. In other words it lets you do things in C code which uses gVariants, etc. *without* having pull in the entire GObject/GType complexity.
I always thought this should be a separate library so others who have to code DBus in C could use it. [1] As Goldilocks said "It's not too small, it's not too big, it's just right" :-) [1] Writing DBus in C can be tedious and frustrating because you're forced to use either something really primitive or something extraordinarily complicated (unless you happen to be a Gnome guru and totally grok the entire GObject/GType pseudo objected-orientated class framework that you have to code to). If the DBus interface you're coding to includes things like variants I think you'll appreciate the middle approach. -- John _______________________________________________ Freeipa-devel mailing list Freeipa-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel
