Since you would still like it around, in opportunistic or in some other way that I should call it, I think a question is due. Can you tell to the public what is the purpose of the user-not-asked-about, in fact mostly user-never-even-knowing-about-it encrypted ssh channel that dbus sets up, along with all the non-GNU-compatible remote procedure calls (which are there for what purpose?) that dbus implements?
Is that for FOSS stands for?
First off cool your jets, and trying call me out on knowing the internals of an IPC in Userspace I didn't develop is very childish.
Why not? If you're promoting it, or persuading Devuan into the acceptance of it? Anyway, can anyone answer that question?
I honestly don't care if D-Bus what it does other than be a communication and messaging relay between applications and processes, as long as it does what it does, and doesn't infringe on anything else.
D-Bus is used and is a requirement for some services and software. You're unfortunately not going to have your cake and coffee with getting rid of D-Bus. Well then, keep it for those cases, don't put it in all the Devuan boxen by default. Will be fine!
Yes, it's not the greatest design, but it is friendly at least to the whole UNIX spectrum.
"friendly"... No comment.
Devuan's main purpose is getting rid of systemd as a hard dependency and allowing user choice in init software, not ripping apart every project to cater to ever niche and fundamentalist out there preaching what they feel is FOSS, and also to not start a witch hunt on software projects. What fundamentalists? The Gentoo folks? Thorsten mirabilos Glaser with his MirDebian "WTF" project, a fundamentalist? Me, a fundamentalist?
What do you mean? My desire to, after have achived it for me (but only in Gentoo), some freedom and some security, to teach, if we get a true-foss Devuan that can get its MirDevuan "WTF" fork for itself, to teach newbies to build their system hardened-against-intrusion and surveillance-defeating, that desire of mine a fundamentalist desire? --- The rest cut out because somewhat made disorderly and illegible by probably hotmail defaults (that the immediate sender who I'm replying to apparently uses) or for some other reason. --- Regards! -- Miroslav Rovis Zagreb, Croatia http://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr
