Fprintd is dependent on the deprecated dbus-glib, also this doesn't provide various features we can take advantage of, like the ones for async authentication mechanism. So, remove all the dbus-glib dependencies and simplify the code, but without any further refactor, and keeping everything as it used to work, while this will give room for further improvements in subsequent commits. Internally, we just use dbus-codegen to generate the skeletons, and we use the generated FprintdDBusManager with composition, while we implement the device skeleton interface in FprintDevice, so that we don't have to use it as a proxy, and keep being closer to what it used to be with dbus-glib. Fixes: #61 |

fprintd ======= https://fprint.freedesktop.org/ Daemon to offer libfprint functionality over D-Bus Might eat your kangaroo. Written in C. Licensed under the GPL version 2 or any later version (see COPYING). A PAM login module is included in the 'pam' directory. API use cases ============= - User wants to use the fingerprint reader, and enroll his fingerprints, or remove some fingerprints from the database - Administrator wants to enroll fingerprints for a particular user, or remove fingerprints for a particular user - Laptop/desktop authentication: * Check for fingerprint devices * Check whether a particular user has any fingerprints enrolled * Verify a fingerprint for a particular user, or, if the device supports it, verify that the fingerprint matches against any of the fingerprints enrolled - Point Of Sale authentication (in a bar, the fingerprint reader is used to see who accesses a particular point of sale/till, in place of PIN code authentication and/or tokens) * Given a list of users, verify which one has scanned their finger
