[opensuse-factory] bluez-gnome not in a good shape, late upgrade exception possible?
Hi, I stumbled across https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217073 which describes the following scenario: - The bluetooth subsystem has heavily changed. Existing GNOME tools don't work properly therefore: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214869 - There is a replacement for gnome-bluetooth available in the bluez-gnome package. This package provides only very basic GUI functionality. A configuration dialog is not present, but available in the newer upstream version 0.6, released on Oct 22nd. - https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217073, comment 7 suggests an update, but it would need approval and someone would have to do it. It is a leaf package, nothing else depends on it. There are no translations to break because the package is untranslated. - Independently of the update approval, the package currently has degraded functionality because of missing libnotify-devel in BuildRequires. What do you think, is an exception possible here? I used the following patch against the existing spec file and it works for me: ########## --- bluez-gnome.spec +++ bluez-gnome.spec @@ -17,19 +17,18 @@ Name: bluez-gnome -BuildRequires: bluez-libs bluez-utils dbus-1-glib-devel gconf2-devel gtk2-devel intltool update-desktop-files +BuildRequires: bluez-libs bluez-utils dbus-1-glib-devel gconf2-devel gtk2-devel intltool libnotify-devel update-desktop-files %define prefix /usr %define sysconfdir /etc License: GNU General Public License (GPL) - all versions Group: System/GUI/GNOME Autoreqprov: on -Version: 0.5 +Version: 0.6 Release: 11 Summary: Bluetooth helpers for GNOME -Source: %{name}-%{version}.tar.bz2 +Source: %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz URL: http://www.bluez.org BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-build -Requires: cairo dbus-1 dbus-1-glib expat glitz pango xorg-x11-libXau xorg-x11-libXdmcp %description Bluetooth helpers for GNOME @@ -55,7 +54,7 @@ %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT make -i install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT -%suse_update_desktop_file bt-applet System +%suse_update_desktop_file bluetooth-properties System #%find_lang %{name} %clean @@ -67,8 +66,9 @@ %doc AUTHORS COPYING ChangeLog NEWS README %defattr (-, root, root) %dir /etc/xdg/autostart -/etc/xdg/autostart/bt-applet.desktop -/usr/bin/bt-applet +/etc/xdg/autostart/bluetooth-applet.desktop +/usr/share/applications/bluetooth-properties.desktop +/usr/bin/bluetooth-* %changelog -n bluez-gnome * Tue Oct 17 2006 - jhargadon@suse.de ########## (Should have suggested this earlier...)

bluez-gnome-0.6 is slightly better. It's still not a full replacement, but provides at least a basic configuration dialog to make the computer visible to other devices. What do you think, is an update to this version something to consider? Who would be able to do it? Would it get approved by the project management? I'll have to make a bugzilla about this because I think that the new version is clearly better, the current one not really useful and the risk very low.
bluez-gnome provides PIN dialog, gnome-bluetooth provides OBEX server (and unuseful device browser). This is covered by:

bluez-gnome will in the future provide much more functionality, among others an OBEX server and maybe even more. I have already filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220448 (against 10.3) to make sure that the needed infrastructure is in place. bluez-gnome might be able to replace one or even two other tray icons in the future.
