WvStreams 4.6

[William Lachance]

Hi all,

With the new release of D-Bus which includes our marshalling code
(http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2009-May/011303.html), my
plan is to release a new version of WvStreams that dynamically links to
this library next week (probably Monday). After some thinking, I'm
pretty sure the right thing to do is to make hard dependancy on the
latest version of D-Bus. Having two codepaths (one of which depends on a
statically linked version of D-Bus) seems insane to me. Those who don't
want to upgrade their version of D-Bus can either stick with an old
version of WvStreams or do without D-Bus support.

For this reason, I'm thinking of dubbing this release "WvStreams 4.6".
To help justify the bump in version number, I'm planning to include
Patrick's patches to support MacOS X.

Questions/comments/flames?

I have a question. I have tried previously to compile
wvstreams/wvdial on FreeBSD and did not succeed. Do those new patches
that support MacOS X, also happen to work on FreeBSD? Why do I ask, I
am thinking of installing newly released FreeBSD 7.2 on home machine
in which I only have dialup, I can get on the internet with Fedora or
Slax, but I also might want to install some software via ports and I
had a hard time making KPPP work with real FreeBSD install, with
RoFreeBSIE(FreeBSD LiveDVD) I could connect, but it is not the same as
the real deal.

Thanks,

Antonio

This sounds logical to me. Any distro that bothers to upgrade
wvstreams is almost certainly going to also upgrade libdbus.

Have fun,
