It adds a convenience layer for access to applications via D-Bus; such a layer is offered by other D-Bus language bindings as well. OTOH, it cannot be regarded as the default library for communicationg with other applications via D-Bus, because there are applications which do not offer introspection data. In this case, the low level functions must still be used. > If in doubt, we can add it to elpa.gnu.org for now. > > What do you think? Maybe adding to elpa.gnu.org is OK for now. If we see the majority of packages, which need D-Bus, are using dbus-proxy.el, we shall move it to Emacs core. Best regards, Michael.
