However lets make a list of the distributions: SuSE Linux 10.0 D-Bus 0.35 Fedora Core 4 D-Bus 0.33 Ubuntu Breezy D-Bus 0.36 Debian unstable D-Bus 0.23 The only bad guy is Debian unstable and I don't care anymore. They use Xorg finally and have GCC 4.0 etc., but they can't move over to the next D-Bus generation. I think that is their problem now and the release of bluez-utils-0.22 will definitely drop the support for the old D-Bus 0.23 version. I like to base everything around the current D-Bus 0.50 release, because the C API should be quite stable now. I will accept small workarounds to make D-Bus 0.3x work, but as soon as the distributions update their D-Bus libraries I will drop them. This is not a nice thing to do, I know, but a wrong usage of D-Bus lets hcid segfault and this is not what I want.
