-D-BUS is a simple IPC library based on messages.
+dbus-glib is a deprecated D-Bus binding for GLib.
 
-See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for lots of documentation, 
-mailing lists, etc.
-
-Note
-===
-
-A core concept of the D-BUS implementation is that "libdbus" is
-intended to be a low-level API, similar to Xlib. Most programmers are
-intended to use the bindings to GLib, Qt, Python, Mono, Java, or
-whatever. These bindings have varying levels of completeness.
-
-Configuration flags
-===
-
-These are the dbus-specific configuration flags that can be given to
-the ./configure program.
-
-  --enable-tests          enable unit test code
-  --enable-ansi           enable -ansi -pedantic gcc flags
-  --enable-verbose-mode   support verbose debug mode
-  --enable-asserts        include assertion checks
-  --enable-checks         include sanity checks on public API
-  --enable-xml-docs       build XML documentation (requires xmlto)
-  --enable-gcov           compile with coverage profiling instrumentation (gcc only)
-  --with-xml=libxml/expat           XML library to use
-  --with-gnu-ld                     assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]
-  --with-tags[=TAGS]                include additional configurations [automatic]
+dbus-glib receives minimal maintenance and security fixes for the benefit
+of projects like Telepathy and NetworkManager that still rely on it, but
+should not be used in new projects (and existing projects should try
+to move away from it, too). Please use GDBus, part of GLib since 2.26.
