At the moment it is designed to be bundled in other +projects using the `git subtree` or `git submodule` commands. + +Please do not use this module unless you really need it. The majority +of GLib-based D-Bus users would be better off using GDBus, part of GLib, +instead of the low-level APIs provided by libdbus. In particular, the +combination of dbus-gmain and libdbus is known to have thread-safety +issues. + +However, using this module is still better than using dbus-glib; the +rest of dbus-glib mostly consists of design flaws. -- GitLab
