Description:   Opened: 2007-05-13 00:45 0000
The build of bluez-utils 3.10 that I've been using was compiled without the
--enable-sync option that (I assume) causes the libopensync dependency. Since
it has been running fine on my system without libopensync installed, I assume
it is possible to use bluez without that dependency.

Is there a reason not to useflag this in the recently posted ebuild?

Yeah, it will just disable synchronization. We could also have flags for hcid,
obex, hidd or whatever else to produce even more crippled functionality by
default. I just fail to see any benefit from such flags.

Considering the place of USE flags in Gentoo I don't know that "crippled" is
the word I'd use here. Is X crippled because I didn't compile all of the
drivers?

In any case, for me libopensync meant an sqlite dependency, and that's
something I would rather not have on my system for various reasons. Since I use
Bluetooth only for keyboards and mice, the synchronization functionality is
wasted on me.

14:31 < holtmann> Don't use --enable-sync. That doesn't work. The work on this
is postponed.

So I disabled it for now and removed the dependency.
