D-Bus 1.9.18 (UNRELEASED)
==
-...
+Configuration changes:
+
+• The basic setup for the well-known system and session buses is now done
+ in read-only files in ${datadir}, moving a step closer to systems
+ that can operate with an empty /etc directory. In increasing order
+ of precedence:
+
+ · ${datadir}/dbus-1/s*.conf now perform the basic setup such as setting
+ the default message policies.
+ · ${sysconfdir}/dbus-1/s*.conf are now optional. By default
+ dbus still installs a trivial version of each, for documentation
+ purposes; putting configuration directives in these files is deprecated.
+ · ${datadir}/dbus-1/s*.d/ are now available for third-party software
+ to install "drop-in" configuration snippets (any packages
+ using those directories should explicitly depend on at least this
+ version of dbus).
+ · ${sysconfdir}/dbus-1/s*.d/ are also still available for sysadmins
+ or third-party software to install "drop-in" configuration snippets
+ · ${sysconfdir}/dbus-1/s*-local.conf are still available for sysadmins'
+ overrides
+
+ ${datadir} is normally /usr/share, ${sysconfdir} is normally /etc,
+ and "s*" refers to either system or session as appropriate.
