Hello Milosz,

maybe you should correct the link on freshmeat.net. I didn't find that
site with google.

In the past I did some changes in dbus-c++. Not sure if talk about the
same wrapper. But this on is the most mature C++ wrapper in my eyes.

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus-c++
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbus-cplusplus/

There're currently two different repos that I try to sync from time to
time.

There's the "hal-listen" example beside the source. I tried it and it
works nice, but no idea how complete the hal support is. Maybe you take
a look into it and tell us what's missing for the current libhal++
features. The example shows me a list of devices and when I add or
remove devices it prints that on the terminal. Sounds good for me.

regards
Andreas

BTW: dbus-c++ has a mailing list. I send this mail to the list too.
Maybe you join the list if you're interested.

Hey Andreas,

I will definitely look into the example, and into reimplementing libhal++
instead of wrapping
it in the next coming time.

I've subscribed to dbus-cplusplus-devel now also.

Thanks for the information!

Cheers,
M.

Re: [dbus-cplusplus-devel] libhal++?

[Milosz D. <int...@gm...>]

Hey Andreas,

After a long time i'm reporting back in.

I've now started developing libhalmm, which is a reimplementation of
libhal and libhal-storage
using dbus-c++. I expect to publish the first version of the source
code with an estimated
completion of the code of 90% end of coming week (there are some
obscurities in libhal
about which i need to talk about with the hal developers).

I've mailed to the dbus-c++ mailing list with a few questions, but
Paolo was not very forthcoming
and finally outright ignored me; I don't know why he was being so
offensive after me just
having asked a few questions. Anyway, i'll quote the original questions here:

Would be nice if you could tell me how the state of this is currently.
