Re: [dbus-cplusplus-devel] contributing a submission to the project...best way?

Andreas:

I am looking at the difference between the two patches.  There is a difference in how send_blocking() is getting patched.  The sourceforge patch, bug 2701443, changes how the send_blocking() call is used:

        static void unregister_function_stub( DBusConnection*, void* );
@@ -323,7 +331,7 @@ Message ObjectProxy::_invoke_method( Cal
        call.path(path().c_str());
        call.destination(service().c_str());

-       return conn().send_blocking(call);
+       return conn().send_blocking(call, get_timeout());

but nowhere in the patch is the send_blocking() call modified to reflect the new parameter 'get_timeout()'.  So either send_blocking()'s 2nd parameter in the gitorious branch is already there or there is another patch to add the send_blocking() second parameter.

Our patch makes an adjustment to send_blocking() :

@@ -360,7 +361,11 @@ Message Connection::send_blocking(Message &msg, int timeout)

+	else

Hello James,

ok, I found the ticket:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25022

There's no "dbus-c++" on fd.org because I was wrong. I moved bug
handling to sourceforge some time ago. Now I've documented this in the
wiki:

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus-c%2B%2B

I wonder because there's a similar ticket on sf.net:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2701443&group_id=236997&atid=1101684

Are those two tickets connected?

It seems only that libdbus-c++-0.5.2-70009.1.moblin2.patch contains
many moblin specific autotools scripts. And I see changes in the code
generator. This is bad as I don't like to maintain further changes in
the fdo.org code generator. I did many changes in the gitorious branch.
The only reason why I didn't merge them all back to fd.org is the lack
of good unit test to verify the generated code. But I'll take a look
into it...

regards
        Andreas
