Upgrade/compatibility impact
It is safe to switch back and forth between dbus-daemon and dbus-broker as backend for the system and session buses. There is no data migration needed. The configuration and data formats are equivalent for both implementations.
All known compatibility issues are listed and discussed on the project wiki.
How To Test
Install the dbus-broker package and enable it via:
systemctl enable dbus-broker.service systemctl --global enable dbus-broker.service
After a reboot dbus-broker will be used as system and session message bus. This can be easily reverted by running the corresponding systemctl disable commands.
User Experience
No visible changes in behavior are expected, except for different log messages. Any visibly different behavior to dbus-daemon should be reported as a regression. Ideally, this change should only improve the performance and security of the message bus.
