In this setup pcb-rnd (and mainline pcb) does not send out dbus requests to gschem, it is merely remote-controllable via dbus. And it seems the only dbus based remote controller for pcb was xgsch2pcb. So it was xgsch2pcb that told gschem to save and told pcb to import. I am deprecating this. Genxproj can do all these without dbus. What is working fine, has been working fine and will be working fine without dbus (NO deprecation of any sort): - pcb-rnd's import schematics (this never tried to do any dbus with gschem, see below); both from gui and from batch mode action scripts - gsch2pcb-rnd (standalone tool) - genxproj (external project) As far as I can tell, the only effect of dbus deprecation will be that you won't be able to use xgsch2pcb with pcb-rnd (unless it's rewritten to use stdio communication to pcb-rnd). It didn't work out-of-the-box with pcb-rnd anyway. (Note: I did check mainline code 4.0.0, the import sch runs gnetlist or make, but doesn't do any dbus there either.) Regards, Igor2
