Subject: 27.0.50; Docstring of `dbus-init-bus' incorrect
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2018 22:55:08 +0200

The docstring of `dbus-init-bus' says:

> The function returns a number, which counts the connections this Emacs
> session has established to the BUS under the same unique name

However:

(dbus-init-bus :system)

==> ((:signal :system "org.freedesktop.DBus.Local" "Disconnected") (nil "/org/freedesktop/DBus/Local" dbus-handle-bus-disconnect))

Looking at the definition of `dbus-init-bus', it seems that only a
`prog1' form is missing to make the docstring correct:

  (prog1 (dbus--init-bus ...) (dbus-register-signal ...))

Indeed. dbus--init-bus keeps the original implementation of dbus-init-bus.
It would be safe to apply this patch even to the emacs-26 branch, IMHO.

Eli?

Best regards, Michael.

My question was, whether we could apply the proposed change to the
emacs-26 branch. What else are you missing? The patch itself? It's
obvious from Philipp's message, but here it is:

Yes, the patch was missing.  While I could guess what was meant, I
prefer not to guess when I need to make decisions about what goes to
the release branch.

This is OK for emacs-26, thanks.

Do you plan to commit this yourself, or shall I do it in your name?

Best regards, Michael.

Since you wrote the patch, it's probably best if you commit it in your
name.
