Bug#508032: DBus plan for Lenny
Hi guys, I'm looking to come up with a plan for DBus in Lenny. The relevant bug is #508032. A quick synopsis of the problem is that until recently DBus was shipped with a default configuration on the system bus which allowed more message than was intended. 1.2.10 fixes this but unfortunately it breaks numerous other bits of software which relied on this (mainly introspection). There is also a 'permissive' release which merely logs when there would be a problem but still lets them through. It does not actually fix the problem, however. If we do want to fix the problem properly then all the packages which rely on the broken behaviour will also need to be fixed. This should be as simple as just adding a few lines to their system bus config files. I've attached a list of packages which would be affected. The shorter list (*-files*, also has a list of versions in lenny and sid and migration excuses. Sorry if there's a better way to do that than I've found!) is those packages which already drop a file in /etc/dbus-1/system.d, which should be everything. There is a small possibility that there is a package which does not currently have a config file but which should. The longer list is rdepends of libdbus-1-3, it will definitely not be anything not on this list. Opinions?

Please start preparing things in unstable, so we can have a further idea of the impact and how to solve the remaining bits, TIA.
