Description Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-10-23 06:24:35 UTC 
I just talked with YosWinK on IRC about adding a section about using Bluetooth
OBEX on the command line using net-wireless/opd as server and
app-mobilephone/ussp-push as client.

I'll be happy to help should you have any questions...

There are a couple of other options though, for instance kdebluetooth and gnome-bluetooth both provide obex server and managers. I could write a paragraph on how to get it working with gnome, and maybe we could find someone to write one on kdebluetooth?

KDE and GNOME are hardly command-line?
Comment 3 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-02-09 13:39:44 UTC 
whoops, i didn't realise this was for the commandline docs :) i use gnome-obex-send from the command line all the time, but yeah, it pops up a window while it sends. so just ignore me for now ..

Looks like this suggested addition would only work for x86 (at least one of the required packages isn't even keyworded for amd64); do we still want to add it to the bluetooth guide?
Comment 5 Ioannis Aslanidis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-14 12:19:34 UTC 
Now that both packages are stable. I would advise a new subchapter to be created under section 6 (Desktop Applications for Bluetooth). Add a notice as well expliciting that at the time the document was updated, x86 was the only supported architecture.

Added a bit about OBEX command line utilities, just a mention. Thanks to deathwing00 for suggestions, review, etc., and I'm sure jakub helped out somewhere too. :)

Fixed in CVS.
