package/dbus-broker: new package dbus-broker is an alternate implementation of a dbus daemon. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for the system bus daemon, as well as the session bus daemon. dbus-broker is (basically, and as far as we're concerned in Buildroot) split in two components: - the actual message bus daemon, that relays messages across clients - a launcher, which is responsible for setting various aspects of the bus, like setting the policy et al. and opening the socket(s) the message bus daemon will have to listen on... The launcher can only be used in a systemd setup (it makes heavy use of systemd facilities), while the message bus is generic. However, the message bus daemon is useless without a launcher. There does not exist a non-systemd launcher, which makes dbus-broker actually a systemd-only package; this can be revisited when/if a non-systemd launcher appears. Note, however, that libdbus is not provided by dbus-broker. People who want to use dbus-broker as the bus daemon, and need libdbus, will have to enable both. If only original dbus is enabled, things stay as they are now. This is for the moment still the default, though we should change that once dbus-broker has proven to work. If only dbus-broker is enabled, it installs the necessary socket activation units and dbus configuration files. The daemon is not launched at boot time; instead it is socket-activated when a client connects to the bus the first time. If both original dbus and dbus-broker are enabled, we have a conflict with the configuration files, the socket activation file. Also, original dbus activates the daemon as a service in multi-user.target.wants, so it is not socket-activated and dbus-broker would never get the opportunity to start. Therefore, original dbus is updated to remove the conflicting files and the activation of dbus-daemon. Since dbus-broker installs some of the same file that original dbus removes, we have to add a dependency to make sure that the ones installed by dbus-broker aren't removed. If both are installed, it is still possible to revert back to using original dbus as system bus: - at build-time: by calling systemctl enable/disable from a post-build script (preferred), or by providing drop-in units or presets in an overlay (less preferred) or custom skeleton (as a last resort), - at runtime (on a RW filesystem): by calling systemctl enable/disable Note about the user: the path to the system bus socket is a so-called "well-known location": it is expected to be there, by spec. Moving it elsewhere is going to break existing programs. So, the user running the system bus daemon must be able to create that socket. As we may have two packages providing a system bus daemon, they have to be both able to create the socket, and thus must both be able to write in the directory containing the socket. And since they can be switched at runtime, they must be running as the same user. We can't just reference the original dbus user, so we duplicate the entry. What is important, is that the user be named 'dbus', as that's what we use in both cases. If both original dbus and dbus-broker are selected, the dbus user is included twice, but the specifications are identical so that's fine. mkusers will create the user only once. Finally, the licensing terms are pretty trivial for dbus-broker itself, but it makes use of third-party code that it inherits as git submodules (that are bundled in the release archive). Thus the licensing is a bit convoluted... The third-party codes claim to be licensed as "Apache-2.0 and LGP-2.1+" in their AUTHORS files, but at the same time claim "Apache-2.0 OR LGPL-2.1-or-later" in their README files. The individual source files (that are used) do not seem to have any licensing header to clarify the situation. So we represent the situation with "Apache-2.0 and/or LGPL-2.1+".
