Hi all, Here is the status update of the odeviced project. There have not been much in terms of new additions though. I was concentrating more on making the code look pretty and smoothening out some rough edges here and there. Here are some of the more important changes since the last update,
1.) Support for automatic creation of DBus paths if the plugins use a sysfs device class. So a new device_class key in the configuration file was introduced. 2.) Backlight and Power plugins use the device_class key now. 3.) Stick to OTAPI naming conventions for the DBus methods 4.) Better exception handling in the handlers I have also checked in a bitbake recipe (..and doesn't work). For the next few days, I plan to make odeviced API compatible with python-odeviced. For testing it out, I am planning to make zhone work with it if possible. I have also been looking at kevents and maybe it can be an alternative to the polling of some sysfs files. If anyone has some bookmarks or resources, please send it across. @mickeyl: Will it make sense for usaged to work with odeviced. So if the reference count of some a requested device reaches 0, usaged could order odeviced to do the dirty work of shutting down the device. Or is it a case of over-engineering? If anyone is interested, heres a screenshot showing the more important aspects of odeviced http://sudharsh.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/screenshot1.png Regards Sudharshan S Blog : http://www.sudharsh.wordpress.com IRC : Sup3rkiddo @ Freenode, Gimpnet
