Description
gdbusconnection.c has a comment:
Need to document other mechanisms/sources for determining the D-Bus address of a well-known bus. on OS X we need to look in launchd for the address https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14259
I couldn't find a bugzilla item for that, so here we are (gives an easy place to direct downstream packagers/users). Conceptually, seems like the processing and platform features would go in gdbusaddress.c (rather than gdbusconnection.c) to figure that out, but until there's an implementation of something to do, that's moot.
libdbus is AFL2.1/GPL2 (reuser's choice). AFL sounds (and describes itself as) BSD/MIT-like, so is that compatible with being imported into glib? I can probably convince the main contributor to that bugzilla.fdo item to contribute it here directly under LGPL rather than someone having to do a cleanroom reimplementation, but would obviously be even better to use that project's current codebase (bugfixes and improvements) instead of the submitted original.
