This is a great question and an informative response. Thanks to you both. A related question is whether it is better to utilize a DBUS interface versus FFI or CLI. For example, I have code to control wicd via its DBUS interface, but I ran into a issues with the existing DBUS library. I forked a workaround that loads from a local project. It works, but there seem are idiosyncrasies with the interface such as certain asynchronous commands delaying several seconds before returning.
I intend to nail down the issue (likely a misuse of iolib), and submit a proper patch, but even assuming everything runs smoothly and is made available in quicklisp, there is still the concern of the DBUS library pulling in many dependencies. Is DBUS useful enough to provide the impetus for making interfaces easily accessible from within stumpwm? _______________________________________________ Stumpwm-devel mailing list Stumpwm-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/stumpwm-devel
