s-t-b 2.1.0

I noticed this new dispatcher in s-t-b 2.1.0.  I assume that the init
script for s-t-b should now call this dispatcher instead of the
SystemToolsBackend.pl script?  It would be nice if a sample init script
could be included in the distribution to help ports.  I'd be happy to
offer up FreeBSD's:

#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: system-tools-backends
# REQUIRE: DAEMON dbus
#

. /etc/rc.subr
. /usr/local/etc/gnome.subr

system_tools_backends_enable=${system_tools_backends_enable-${gnome_enable}}

name=system_tools_backends
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command="/usr/local/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl"
pidfile="/var/run/system-tools-backends.pid"

load_rc_config ${name}
run_rc_command "$1"

Thanks.

Joe

Hi!

Sorry, perhaps this change should have been announced more broadly. I'll
take this mail as an excuse to do that :)

<announce>

Main changes in system-tools-backeds 2.1.x:

The main program now is a C/GLib/DBus dispatcher
in /usr/bin/system-tools-backends. it launches its own private bus and
spawns the necessary configuration modules under request, those modules
shutdown after some inactivity time.

This reduces memory usage down to ~200Kb of writable memory during
inactivity, and will also allow to develop modules in other languages
for those who can't see a line of Perl code without vomiting ;)

</announce>

That's right, perhaps the CLI should have been more abstracted since the
beginning (a shell script or something, dunno...)

Thanks, it would be a good idea to install initscripts for the distros
it recognizes, and a huge warning if it doesn't, will work on it soon.

where should that script be installed?

        Thanks!

Thanks.  I got most of that from the README, but it wasn't clear that
this new dispatcher should be the command in the init script.  The
description below seems to confirm that it should be.
