[ANN] OBus 1.1

[ANN] OBus 1.1

[Jérémie Dimino]

Hi,

I'm happy to announce the release 1.1 of OBus, a pure OCaml
implementation of the D-Bus protocol.

OBus aims to make it easy to use and provide D-Bus services in OCaml. It
can generate interfaces to D-Bus services from introspection files, it
provides integration of D-Bus methods, signals and properties to native
ocaml functions, mapping between D-Bus types and OCaml types, ... But it
is also possible to write low-level D-Bus application using OBus.

OBus is distributed with predefined OCaml interfaces to the following
services: Hal, NetworkManager, Popup notifications, PolicyKit, UDisks
and UPower.

Are there any example of the use of OBus? Was OBus written for certain
application in mind?

Sincerely yours,

There are small examples in the archive. I don't think there are yet
applications using it, except one i wrote as part of the control system
of a robot.

No. I tried to make it as general as possible.

Cheers,

- Is OCaml 3.12 really required to be able to build it ?

- By the way, I got this with Ocaml 3.11.1 and lwt 2.1.1. Maybe it's
related to my first question.

Printexc.register_printer belongs to 3.11.2.

I think Jeremie should add:

OASISVersion: >= 3.11.2 

to its _oasis file.

Yes.

If you are using debian there is a repository with ocaml 3.12 here:

  http://ocaml.debian.net/debian/ocaml-3.12.0
