Hi all, I want to announce a small change in the bluez package: some time from now, it will be built without the "--enable-deprecated" configure switch. This switch causes the old deprecated (by upstream) tools to be built. Right now, they are built and pacakged in the bluez package. The first step will be to split them off into a "bluez-deprecated" package, which contains the following binaries: /usr/bin/ciptool /usr/bin/gatttool /usr/bin/hciattach /usr/bin/hciconfig /usr/bin/hcidump /usr/bin/hcitool /usr/bin/rfcomm /usr/bin/sdptool In the not too far future, the bluez-deprecated package will be dropped and bluez will be built without "--enable-deprecated". If I had to guess now, I would say that "not too far future" means "end of 2020". Why do this? These tools are officially abandoned and deprecated by upstream, and issues, even security problems have to be fixed. Upstream does no longer maintain or fix bugs / issues in these tools. If you have a problem with these tools going away, *please raise these issues with bluez upstream*. The bluez / bluez-deprecated split will take place with the next factory submission. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
