Hi,
I'm still failing to find a Ruby library/rubygem for accessing
systemd functionality (preferably over D-BUS). Do you know of
anything useful?
I think that such a library is not needed as everything should be
fairly simple calls to the systemd DBus API. Or what use cases do
you have in mind?
Use case: YaST is written in a $LANGUAGE and I as a YaST developer don't
want to care about D-BUS calls and parsing their output but I want to
use some mid-to-high-level library for calling/setting-up systemd. I as
a developer don't care about the actual implementation, I do care about
the $LANGUAGE API.
Moreover, I as a developer would like to use an upstream project instead
of writing and maintaining my own.
It seems I'm not the only one who sees the potential. Sadly, I haven't
found any code yet:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-January/008304.html
That said, maybe you would be more happy with plain ruby-dbus (which
I maintain upstream) if its usage was simpler? Then ping these known
issues or file a new one:
"Objects must be introspected explicitly"
https://github.com/mvidner/ruby-dbus/issues/28
"Values returned by object proxies are always arrays"
https://github.com/mvidner/ruby-dbus/issues/30
Thanks, that might work if I decide to write and maintain my own
Ruby-dbus-Systemd glue.
Bye
Lukas
