The rationale is explained in https://planet.kde.org/friedrich-kossebau-2023-06-28-include-also-moc-files-of-headers/
In case of KDEConnect, it impressively speeds up compilation. Before it
took 390 seconds on a clean build and with this change it took 330 seconds.
This is due to the mocs_compilation having to include the header files
and thus all their headers. Due to the lots of small plugins we have,
this means that the same headers must be compiled plenty of times.
When we include the moc files directly in the C++ file, they are already
available.
In theory we support Qt 5.6 (because of SailfishOS) but in practice we are not checking that in the CI so probably we broke the compatibility long ago. Also, I don't think anyone is using this code in SailfishOS, so we can greatly simplify the code by requiring Qt 5.15 or later.
Better patch to replace !218.
- Auto and quick detection of previous D-Bus instance;
- Remove private D-Bus compile definition, only use it on macOS without an existing D-Bus instance;
- Safe reboot after crashes because the indicator is not relating on the kdeconnectd to run a D-Bus session;
- Safe exit after clicking on `Quit` in the systray.
More details in commit logs:
Only enable private D-Bus on macOS because the other platforms do not
need them.
The app should be able to easily detect the session bus from the env
DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET from launchd through launchctl.
Because https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/-/blob/master/dbus/dbus-sysdeps-unix.c#L4392
shows that it is the only probing method on macOS with launchd.
The D-Bus session bus can be easily found from launchd/launchctl
with DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET env. It can be an external one
(installed from HomeBrew) or an internal one (launched by a previous
instance followed by a crash).
The indicator helper on macOS can now automatically detect whether we can use a potentially
(with launchd/launchctl env set, or KDE Connect macOS
private_bus_address set) existed and usable session bus.
If previous bus is usable, just try to launch the kdeconnectd with us.
Otherwise, launch a private D-Bus daemon, export the launchd/launchctl
env, and run a kdeconnectd instance.
Everything works better and quicker now :)
