Updating it would likely still leave a few breakages here and there; but KDE's BlueDevil for example does have support in git.
The 2nd alternative would be to 'try to undo' the Bluez 5 porting in the GNOME Stack; No idea if and how well this will work; we would be the only distro with GNOME 3.10 running on Bluez 4.
Any opinions around here?
Is it feasible to package both and have them conflict?
That way the gnome stack could require Bluez 5 and KDE Bluez 4?
Then have an obvious place in the installer that the user has to choose Bluetooth for Gnome vs. Bluetooth for KDE?
I can't say I like that, but it sounds better than shipping a half working KDE / Bluetooth implementation.
Also what about the rest of the desktops, is there any Bluetooth support and if so with which?
Greg,
yes, that would be feasible, (just use virtual provides / requires for example).
The big problem would be that you could not install KDE and GNOME on the same box.. a BIG leap backwards and surely not what we as openSUSE would want to achieve... We promote the 'free choice' not only at install time.
I'm not sure in how far there is any integration of bluetooth stacks in lxde/xfce/E17..
somwewhat I assume they branched off gnome-bluetooth at early stages and forgot about it. I hope to be wrong.

To me, jumping to Bluez 5 exclusively for 13.1 just feels like its too late in the development cycle. To do that right would surely require another couple milestone releases. <brainstorming> By using conflicting "Recommends:" statements, couldn't both Gnome and KDE be installable, but only one would have Bluetooth support? Or, how hard would be to change the Bluez 5 namespace to not conflict. Then both could co-exist? <\brainstorming> Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
