I need rfcomm to bind to bluetooth gps. When I search for rfcomm via e-file, it shows me net-wireless/bluez but that tool is not built. I looked at the ebuild file but there is no hint how to build that tool. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. build net-wireless/bluez 2. try to bind a interface (eg rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 00:0D:B5:61:1F:1C) Actual Results: rfcomm is not found Expected Results: Device is bound and /dev/rfcomm0 is available
Haven't tried, but a grep to the makefile shows: @DEPRECATED_TRUE@@TOOLS_TRUE@ tools/rfcomm So I assume it's gated behind USE=deprecated

Ah, sorry, didn't search in the make file, only in the ebuild. However, when it will go away, I would better migrate to another, stable, way to bind devices to /dev/rfcomm0. Is there any tool that replaces rfcomm? I didn't find any hint about that. (That might be not the topic for a bug report, however, maybe you have an answer.)
Not me, I never used rfcomm so I wouldn't know.
We will keep it under "deprecated" I think (following upstream)
