will certainly enable the D-Bus code in JACK if they
ship it. So, I have no problem with depending on a dbus'ified jack for
this logic to work.
From a packagers' (for Fedora/Planet CCRMA)
point of view the future
dbus-capable jack should be able to be used without dbus
support as well
as with it _without_ having to recompile it (that is without having to
repackage it differently). For an example of non-dbus usage, I may want
to start jack on a remote host where there is no desktop session at the
moment and thus dbus is not usable.
No. That use case does not make any sense. The D-Bus session bus is
autospawned if necessary these days.
I personally see no value in dbus-less builds. That's just pointless
conservatism, mostly based on unfounded anti D-Bus FUD. But then
again, I am not really a jack developer, so what I think is mostly
irrelevant.
