Kernel DBus Now Boots With Systemd On Fedora

Posted by timothy on from the trying-new-things dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Red Hat developers doing some holiday hacking have managed to get a bootable system with systemd + KDBUS on Fedora 20. KDBUS is a new DBus implementation for the Linux kernel that provides greater security and better performance than the DBus daemon in user-space. Systemd in turn interfaces with KDBUS for user-space interaction. Testing was done on Fedora 20 but the systemd + KDBUS configuration should work on any modern distribution when using the newest code."

    I recently tried NetBSD but it had an ancient version of XFCE (4.6 from 2009). There is an experimental 4.8 version in -WIP bur I haven't tried it.

    Compares to Linux, NetBSD shops a lot of really outdated packages. But I was told that the reason behind it are mainly the huge dependencies that Linux uses. ConsoleKit. PulseAudio, PolicyKit, PoetterKit etc.
