Hi everyone, blueman is a GTK+ bluetooth management utility for GNOME using bluez dbus backend. However for some features (for example network connectivity and bluetooth audio sharing) bluez-utils has to be recompiled with some more options, which are not there in the stock bluez-utils in Arch. I wish to move the package into [community], however lots of features will not work if bluez-utils is not recompiled with the extra options. AFAIK, Ubuntu has these options enabled by default (at least some of them) as one user reported blueman to be working perfectly in Ubuntu. Should I print out a warning message during install? Any suggestions? Thanks, Abhishek

Post a feature request in the bug tracker. Perhaps bluez-utils's maintainer would be willing to add these extra options. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
