dbus: update to 1.6.8

[anddam (Andrea D'Amore)]

​dbus page says that current stable branch is 1.6.x .

Current patchflles applies as well to 1.6.4 so upgrading is straightforward.

The dbus notes need to change as the LaunchDaemon is no longer required/provided, only the LaunchAgent remains.

The LaunchDaemon plist wasn't provided in 1.4 anyway, did anything change? I cannot find anything relevant in ​changelog.

D-Bus uses the common "Linux kernel" versioning system, where even-numbered minor versions are stable and odd-numbered minor versions are development snapshots. ​README

​patch-devel-dbus-1.6.8.diff started as an svn copy of MacPorts dbus-devel.

I'm using this 1.6.8 patch with virtualbox with no issues so far.

In my experience there has always been a LaunchDaemon plist.

Please make sure to commit the whitespace changes separately (if indeed the maintainer wants them).

Why remove the conflict with the dbus-devel port?

Please attach a patch with only functional changes; this diff with combined functional and whitespace changes is too confusing to review.

I copied my local dbus-devel 1.5 based port to dbus to make this patch. This patch is not really based on dbus 1.4 port. Dbus 1.6.x is the release version of the dbus 1.5.x development branch.

Please attach a patch with only functional changes; this diff with combined functional and whitespace changes is too confusing to review.

I'll let the maintainer handle this. My intent was to show a working dbus 1.6 that does not have the launchdaemon, but only the launchagent. In my oppinion, this port needs more then a version update.

[pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)]

I am sorry, it has been a year or so and I cannot find any documentation to support my comments.

The attached patch only changes the version and checksums and appears to work fine on my system.
