Bug 482762 – net-wireless/bluez - add systemd service file for creating /dev/rfcomm devices

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mehmet Giritli 2013-08-28 07:25:58 UTC]

This service file executes "rfcomm bind all" which binds all devices setup in /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf to /dev/rfcommX. When a program wants access to a device the connection is established automatically, but not until then.

This used to work automatically with openrc AFAIR, but it is not dealt with yet in the case of systemd. The inclusion of this simple service file fills the gap.

Reproducible: Always

I would report this to upstream before as upstream is working with systemd integration and maybe they are not doing this for some reason

Yes, I use mailing list for that :)

And I will wait for upstream to take care of it since they support systemd officially
