Andreas,

> fundamental design changes. In my eyes it's sometimes better to do and
No, since Paolo privided some insight into the "private" pimpl technique, the 
design seems to be ok.

If I do changes, they will be small initially and maybe will only be 
documentation or test routines (if even I find time to do anything...).

The reason I am asking for the "relevant "repository is quite simple: I want 
to make sure that changes get committed, or discussed & rejected; nothing  is 
more frustrating than sending diffs nobody cares about.
:-)

Ok, so for the time being I will use the gitourious repo, I trust that sooner 
or later you will be able to make sure our stuff gets merged with 
the "official" repo. As you say: "has to arise in near future".

cheers
Chris

Yes, this would be really helpful. Maybe it's a design pattern that I
don't recognize. Sometimes it's really hard to understand the logic
behind that "Private" stuff. Currently I use kscope to dive deeper into
dbus-c++. It's really helpful to not get lost big sources.

It's up to you which repo you use. I think the decision about the best
way to organize the dbus-c++ development has to arise in near future.

The gitourious has some important changes in the autoconf environment.
In my eyes the fd repo is not perfect at this point. And I included the
Ecore patches that aren't yet stable at the moment.

Your proposal in the other mail sounds like you plan to do some
fundamental design changes. In my eyes it's sometimes better to do and
show something than to talk hours about it. So simply create a branch
from my repo on gitourious and change it for your needs. We'll later
talk about your ideas if you got something done. This situation isn't
perfect, but I hope it'll change in near future.

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

so if I want to submit changes: against which repository should I do this?

against the fd repo?

or aginst the gitourious repo?

Re: [dbus-cplusplus-devel] dbus-c++ project on sourceforge created

[Christopher L. <chr...@ac...>]

Paolo,

a question on your code:

what is that "private" stuff all about? For example in class "Connection" you 
are using this:

class DXXAPI Connection
... 	
59 	struct Private;
60 	
61 	typedef std::list<Private*> PrivatePList;
62 	
63 	Connection( Private* );

Could you provide a little bit of rationale about this? It somehow confuses 
me. Is this simply a "private" dbus connection for example "app to app" 
connection? Or is this some (to me unknown) technique to produce c++ quasi 
private members in the "public" section?

many thanks

Chris
