Details

Description:
from systemd 221 "--disable-kdbus" compile switch will only disable kdbus default usage. But if no module is found (ie: normal archlinux installations), kdbus will be automatically disabled. I think it is not necessary anymore. It only "forces" whoever wants to try kdbus-git (from aur) to add "kdbus=1" to the kernel command line.
Without that switch, if no module is found, everything is normal. If the module is found, it is used.


Additional info:
* systemd 221-1
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Deferred
Additional comments about closing:  We'll look into re-enabling kdbus by default once it is merged into Linux and gets some wider testing.

I believe the thinking was that kdbus isn't trouble-free yet so it's better to require "kdbus=1" as not to have a broken setup by default.

See Jan's comment in that commit: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-commits/2015-June/283899.html

And the two upstream issues:

Mmh but there are no linux kernels in AUR that ship kdbus by default. You can only explicitly build it through kdbus-git.
By the way, it is not a great effort to add kdbus=1 to the kernel command line, so...
