* bus/Makefile.am, bus/dbus-daemon-1.1.in: man page for the daemon; also documents daemon config file, so replaces doc/config-file.txt. Corrected some stuff from config-file.txt in the process of moving it.

- Message matching rules (so broadcasts can be filtered) need sorting
|
|
out.
|
|
|
|
- How we will handle DCOP needs sorting out. Among other things, we
|
|
need to check that service and service-ownership semantics map to DCOP
|
|
reasonably well.
|
|
|
|
- Activation needs some careful additional thinking-through.
|
|
|
|
- Property list feature on message bus (list of properties associated
|
|
with a connection). May also include message matching rules
|
|
that involve the properties of the source or destination
|
|
connection.
|
|
|
|
- Implement all the needed resource limits to keep clients from
|
|
killing the message bus.
|
|
|
|
- Automatic service activation, should probably be done through a message flag.
|
|
|
|
- Disconnecting the remote end on invalid UTF-8 is probably not a good
|
|
idea. The definitiion of "valid" is slightly fuzzy. I think it might
|
|
be better to just silently "fix" the UTF-8, or perhaps return an error.
|
|
|
|
Owen says we should only validate the UTF-8 on dbus_message_get_string()
|
|
(changing get_string to have an error return, and allowing a type error
|
|
as a possible return)
|
|
|
|
- We might consider returning a "no such operation" error in dbus-connection.c
|
|
for unhandled messages.
|
|
|
|
- The convenience functions in dbus-bus.h should perhaps have
|
|
the signatures that they would have if they were autogenerated
|
|
stubs. e.g. the acquire service function. We should also evaluate
|
|
which of these functions to include, in light of the fact that
|
|
GLib/Qt native stubs will probably also exist.
|
|
|
|
- The message handler interface needs rethinking, perhaps handlers should be able
|
|
to return an error that automatically gets turned into a message; most likely
|
|
some basic spec'ing out of the GLib/Qt level stubs/skels stuff will be
|
|
needed to understand the right approach.
|
|
|
|
- there are various bits of code to manage ref/unref of data slots, that should
|
|
be merged into a generic facility
|
|
|
|
- assorted _-prefixed symbols in libdbus aren't actually used by
|
|
libdbus, only by the message bus. These bloat up the library
|
|
size. Not sure how to fix, really.
|
|
|
|
- if you send a message to a service then block for reply, and the service exits/crashes
|
|
after the message bus has processed your message but before the service has replied,
|
|
it would be nice if the message bus sent you an error reply.
|
|
|
|
- write a DTD for the dbus-daemon-1 configuration file
|
|
|
|
- build and install the Doxygen manual in Makefile when --enable-docs
