Mo' Bluetooth

In Bluetooth++, I showed the cups bluetooth backend enhancements. Marcel is currenly reviewing those, and should merge the code upstream next week. In the meantime, the code is available in bluez-utils-3.11-2.f8 in rawhide.

I've also been working on James' gnome-vfs-obexftp code. While the old code needed you to make hcid launch with the -x option to enable the experimental features (in this case the now-defunct RFCOMM service). Marcel told me it should be using RFCOMM sockets directly, and we now have a version of gnome-vfs-obexftp that works without any tinkering, and is also more reliable, and quicker.


It's also available in the repos for Fedora Core 6, Fedora 7 and rawhide under the name gnome-vfs2-obexftp.

As I don't see a release of the new gnome-vfs-obexftp and the old bzr repo seems to be gone, is there a chance to import this into Gnome SVN?

Bastien Nocera said...

The upstream bzr repo is at https://code.launchpad.net/~jamesh/gnome-vfs-obexftp/devel

I've already asked James to import it to the GNOME SVN, but he hasn't replied yet...

Thanks. Would be nice to have this in GNOME SVN or even gnome-vfs some day (or gvfs)

So ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/SRPMS/gnome-vfs2-obexftp-0.2-6.fc6.src.rpm is the best I can get ATM?

Bastien Nocera said...

Yep, the source RPM is the best you can get right now. It contains the all important patches :)

Looks like the rpms have been removed from fedora 6 & 7.

Hmm I build from source now, in the hope that it would actually work with my SE K750i, but all I see is (still):

Michael: if you are still having troubles, could you please report a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-vfs-obexftp.

From the screenshot, it looks like we are only getting root directory listings, which is pretty weird.
