+1 from me on this one!
It is really looking like a project with a good vision about making a fast and reliable dbus-broker. Fedora is expected to ship this in version 29 and this would be a good thing in Solus since it is starting to becoming very good now ? This will probable make almost every user happy since a performance boost and better reliability is what everybody wants right? ? Would be really cool seeing this as the default in Solus 4 or 5...

Completely irrelevant with our LTS kernel being 4.9. It isn't supported.

Jacalz added a comment.May 31 2018, 8:58 PM

Yeah it is true but would it be possible to use only for the current kernels and keep what ever dbus-broke you used before with lts?

Latest current LTS is 4.14 which dbus-broker supports FWIW, if we were to upgrade our lts kernel (I'm not sure if there's any blockers on that or if ikey simply hasn't gotten around to it). Regardless, even with some invisible performance enchantments we risk weird breakage by implementing this. This is definitely tempting to hack on though.

We haven't gone to a newer LTS because 4.14 broke too many machines that were previously on 4.9 when 4.14 was -current.

I have this working locally, it's not super difficult to setup it's just safe upgrade paths and subpackaging dbus itself to worry about. When we move update linux-lts and linux-headers to a newer LTS version (at least 4.14) we can potentially discuss the inclusion of this.

Awesome! I'm looking forward to see this included. Any plans to update the LTD kernel in the near future?

DataDrake added a comment.Jul 5 2018, 9:39 PM

@Jacalz there were a lot of issues with 4.14 last time we tried, so at this rate it will me the next LTS, which I believe to be 4.18.

DataDrake moved this task from Backlog to Accepted For Inclusion on the Package Requests board.

This will need extensive testing before landing in the repo.

This has been open since 2018 and we don't have any immediate plans on moving from dbus to dbus-broken, in additional to the fact we're still on 4.9 LTS with only recent discussions on possibly moving that to a newer LTS. Should that happen, Core Team and Global Maintainers will assess the move independency.

Jacalz added a comment.Jan 10 2021, 6:04 PM

Can this be reconsidered now that we have 4.14 as the LTS kernel?
