[Bug 488967] Re: Add event notification and subscription system

 

I am looking into the directed signals approach, and from a look at the
DBus spec this should be possible. If we can somehow create our own
dbus.lowlevel.SignalMessage then we can call
set_destination(unique_name) on that. See
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-python/api/. Alse see
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#message-
protocol-messages.

Nothing concrete yet - just a heads up.

You received this bug notification because you are a member of

Status in Zeitgeist Framework: Confirmed

Bug description:
Zeitgeist 0.2 relayed all incoming events over the bus. This might be a bit over the top, but apps still need a way to get notified of events elsewhere in the system.

This bug relates a lot to bug #447417 "Zeitgeist should have any kind of system to protect users privacy" where a dynamic black listing system is needed. This is sort of inverse to a notification system (only "sort of" mind you).

I want to use this bug as a tracker an reminder for us/me to finish this feature. I have it pretty cut out in my head, so if any one else starts on this please ping me...
