On: Rethinking the D-Bus Message Bus

[chme]

So is the dbus-broker the latest project from the kdbus/bus1 guys.

Since from the text dbus-broker does not use the bus1 kernel module, does that mean the bus1 project is dead?

bus1 is very much not dead. We intend to work on the next RFC soon.

[oconnor663 → tomegun]

If bus1 magically landed tomorrow, what would that mean for dbus-broker? Are the projects related at all, or mostly doing different things?

[tomegun → oconnor663]

At the moment dbus-broker does not have code to take advantage of bus1, but we intend to explore adding bus1 support to dbus-broker, so that peers (if their libraries support it), would seamlessly communicate peer-to-peer (circumventing the broker) when possible.

Great to hear! Keep up the good work Tom and friends!
