dbus: Update to version 1.5.12
First: how was this tested?
the only testing I've done so far is to ensure it build and then check
the version with dbus-daemon --version
Second: From the dbus website:
The current stable branch is D-Bus 1.4.x. This is the recommended
version for most purposes.
The current development branch is D-Bus 1.5.x, which will lead to a
1.6.x stable branch in future.
Why are you deleting the stable branch based recipe and add one from
the development branch?
The definition of stable and unstable in DBus isn't as hard and fast
as you'd really like -- the 1.5.x cycle is very slow and mostly stable
from a crashy point of view.
I'd say there is a good rationale for having both 1.4.x (.20, so that
also needs an upgrade) and 1.5.x in oe-core. The default should be
1.4 for obvious reasons (it's the stable release), and 1.5 should be
there for people who need the improvements. In particular there has
been a lot of work on performance, so anyone heavily using dbus (i.e.
anything using Telepathy, which is where the improvements came from)
should look at 1.5 because it will give a noticeable improvement on
slower hardware.

I suppose, then, I should add another recipe and support both. However,
can someone point out how can I make one of them default.
