8 years ago AFAIK, actually the project is only used in another project I'm maintaing, erocci, which uses can consume D-Bus services. The component using dbus is https://github.com/erocci/erocci_backend_dbus/blob/master/src/erocci_backend_dbus.erl
Sure, it lacks doc and examples :/
The status:
- consume D-Bus services: ok
- connect through TCP and UNIX socket: ok
- connect through kernel: not ok (but can use unix socket emulation)
- tested: ok.
- erocci_backend_dbus includes a Python service with which eorcci_backend_dbus can interact
- Another implementation of the same D-Bus interface is used in another project (Java): https://github.com/gibello/erocci-dbus-java
TODO:
- expose D-Bus services
- some authentication mechanisms are not implemented, but architectures allows for easy extension (see https://github.com/lizenn/erlang-dbus/blob/master/src/dbus_auth_cookie_sha1.erl, https://github.com/lizenn/erlang-dbus/blob/master/src/dbus_auth_external.erl and https://github.com/lizenn/erlang-dbus/blob/master/src/dbus_auth_anonymous.erl)
- more doc, more examples
- more tests: unit tests regarding (un)marshaling would be really great, even if the above mentioned xample has rather complex interfaces which works both with Python and Java implementations
- provide facilities for standard interfaces: Properties, ObjectManager, etc.
the project looks interresting but it lacks of a user documentation and/or examples. What is the status about that? Any ETA? Do you have any example I could look at?
