Upstart Client Library

[Saravanan Shanmugham (sarvi)]

Interesting. :-)

So any application or platform that would like to use Upstart and would
like to talk to it using a client library would need to be GPLed? Or do
unnatural acts like introduce an proxy process inbetween just to avoid
this?

I should say, that certainly is going to be a hindrance to widespread
adoption of Upstart.

But like Michael points out though, just being able to use libdbus
without the rest of the D-Bus baggage, certainly paves a way out.

Another slightly unrelated question. 

We are hoping to find a stable point in the Upstart devlopment tree with
dbus support and without cgroups(it introduces a kernel version
dependency that we can't handle) and start a testing/hardening effort,
that we would like to contribute back to Upstart. Is there a good point
that you would suggest for us to start doing the above?

I didn't see any ETA for 0.5. So I am not sure where to start for the
above.

Thx,
Sarvi
