> Thanks a lot jonas. I suspect we'll need to clean up the portfile more
to remove the LaunchDaemon created by macports (provided this works for
everybody) but I'll leave this alone for now.
No, since they are for different busses. The startup item created by the
Portfile starts up the system bus. This one is unique for the whole system
and has one known address. The other one, the session bus, is unique per
session, meaning every user got his own bus. Launchd is used to manage
this address like X11 does on other Linux/*NIX
> Also I've included a no_x11 variant and enabled it by default (as we
discussed). This alleviates any problems for those who already have this
working (although the changes to how dbus-daemon is launched may cause
problems initially).
I've got some concerns about that one. X11 is used, just like launchd,
only to store the session bus address. Having both doesn't make sense and
my break something. I would really prefer to drop it completely or at
least, disable launchd when using x11. But the Portfile you've checked in
seems odd to me.
