Hi Gyuyoung Kim,

Although using Glib's geoclue client works given our ecore_glib integration, it is not the way to go. I know it works as I did include it in the cmake build myself, I don't want to see it in the official repository.

As you may know EFL provides E_DBus to provide easy access to DBus services (HAL, Udisks, ConnMan, oFono, BlueZ...) and it should be extended to support Geoclue. I already discussed that with Rasterman and he also think it is the way to go.

So first you need to implement an E_DBus sub-library called e_geoclue (see how it was done in e_connman) and let us know in e-devel mail list. After this library got in, you can easily provide the WebKit patch using it.

Yes, it is not as easy as copy & paste the Gtk file, but it is the way to go. There are interested peers in having glib-free WebKit and last week we managed to build that using CURL instead of libsoup. I hope you understand my point, this will benefit EFL overall, as people can use the geolocation from their own C/EFL apps.
