Message bus system
Branch: CURRENT,
Version: 1.16.2nb5,
Package name: dbus-1.16.2nb5,
Maintainer: pkgsrc-usersD-BUS is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications.
Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in terms
of complexity.
D-BUS supports broadcast messages, asynchronous messages (thus decreasing
latency), authentication, and more. It is designed to be low-overhead;
messages are sent using a binary protocol, not using XML. D-BUS also
supports a method call mapping for its messages, but it is not required;
this makes using the system quite simple.
This package provides the D-BUS core library and daemon, as well as
some utilities that complement it.

MESSAGE.launchd [+/-]===========================================================================

A launchd agent configuration file has been installed at:
${PREFIX}/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
You need to manually load it to auto-start a session bus. Without
loading it, no applications can start a bus nor find an existing one:
% sudo launchctl load \
${PREFIX}/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
Or alternatively, you can copy it under the system default path to
automatically load it on system boot:
% sudo cp \
${PREFIX}/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist \
/Library/LaunchAgents/
% sudo launchctl load \
/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

You should enable the dbus system-wide daemon for correct operation. Use:
$ cp ${PREFIX}/share/examples/rc.d/dbus ${SYSCONFBASE}/rc.d/dbus
Edit ${SYSCONFBASE}/rc.conf to set dbus=YES.
