Re: [system-tools] s-t-b 2.1.0

[Carlos Garnacho <carlosg gnome org>]

Hi!

Sorry, perhaps this change should have been announced more broadly. I'll
take this mail as an excuse to do that :)

<announce>

Main changes in system-tools-backeds 2.1.x:

The main program now is a C/GLib/DBus dispatcher
in /usr/bin/system-tools-backends. it launches its own private bus and
spawns the necessary configuration modules under request, those modules
shutdown after some inactivity time.

This reduces memory usage down to ~200Kb of writable memory during
inactivity, and will also allow to develop modules in other languages
for those who can't see a line of Perl code without vomiting ;)

</announce>

That's right, perhaps the CLI should have been more abstracted since the
beginning (a shell script or something, dunno...)

Thanks, it would be a good idea to install initscripts for the distros
it recognizes, and a huge warning if it doesn't, will work on it soon.

where should that script be installed?

	Thanks!
