Hi all,
I've just ran across an issue with Bluetooth in openSUSE 13.1; mainly, the GNOME Stack does not work with BlueZ 4.x anymore.
There are several components that have been ported to Bluez 5 already; and, as most of the stuff is not relying on the library (as this has been marked obsolete by upstream anyway), not much was seen prior to actually finding a BT device to pair it.
The D-Bus APi changed and, as a result, stuff relying on it simply has a 50% chance to work or not work.
To make matters worse, we can't even just 'parallel install' bluez and bluez5, as the DBus services clash (same name space).
So, we have the hard bullet to bite: either we update (Fedora decided to do so, see https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-August/187738.html for reference) or we accept to have a non-working BT stack in GNOME.
There has been a deafening silence from coolo on this topic, so I just went ahead, abused my Base:System and multimedia:libs maintainer powers and accepted your SRs to Base:System. I also forwarded them to Factory so that we have at least a slim chance of breaking Beta1 badly. Well, it will be non-working anyway, even without the update :-)
Updating it would likely still leave a few breakages here and there; but KDE's BlueDevil for example does have support in git.
How's bluedevil coming along? Patches already in the package? If not, it would be useful to get them in before Beta1 :-)) Best regards, Stefan (who still wonders why he is multimedia:libs maintainer, but doesn't complain as it's helpful for stunts like this :-)) -- Stefan Seyfried "If your lighter runs out of fluid or flint and stops making fire, and you can't be bothered to figure out about lighter fluid or flint, that is not Zippo's fault." -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
