Ho hum; I think we'll be living with D-BUS for a very long time; ORBit2
was deprecated by D-BUS oh, 6+ years ago, and is still in use by
accident on my desktop ;-) despite many people's best efforts.
I've got exactly zero packages using orbit on my systems
(several hundred ones by now), and the number of dependencies
on dbus is getting smaller virtually every day.
BUT: we're talking about LO specifically, not the whole set of
all packages in use out there ...
If you just want to access certain objects or send commands remotely,
you could use 9P - simple, tiny and very effective.
And using file-system semantics for everything is something the FUSE
mob like; after all, you can do anything by passing strings back and
forth right ? whether you want to do every single function call via the
file-system, is another matter.
Why would you operate on function-call basis anyways ?
That's the major point, why corba failed so miserably for most of
the applications it was propagated - people just though they could
distribute individual objects (at the same granularity as used
within a single-process application), w/o thinking about other
aspects, and somehow magically get a properly working distributed
application. And then some jerks came around and called that
"SOA", without thinking about what really makes up a service
in the first place. No: an function or an object with some
public methods is _NOT_ an service.
