Otherwise, we end up propagating those dependencies into targets that
link against that library, which creates unnecessary link-time
dependencies.
Also included are changes to readd now missing dependencies to tools
that actually need them.
This patch adds a Config::Listener abstract class that anyone can
inherit from and receive notifications when configuration values change.
We don't yet monitor file system changes, so these only work for changes
made by ConfigServer itself.
In order to receive these notifications, clients must monitor the domain
by calling monitor_domain(). Only pledged domains can be monitored.
Note that the client initiating the change does not get notified.
ConfigServer is an IPC service that provides access to application
configuration and settings. The idea is to replace all uses of
Core::ConfigFile with IPC requests to ConfigServer.
This first cut of the API is pretty similar to Core::ConfigFile.
The old:
auto config = Core::ConfigFile::open_for_app("App");
auto value = config->read_entry("Group", "Key");
The new:
auto value = Config::read_string("App", "Group", "Key");
ConfigServer uses the ~/.config directory as its backing store
and all the files remain human-editable. :^)
