CCing the maintainers of our bluetooth stuff. Guys, since the 3.x stack was stabilized, I'm thinking that our bluetooth doc probably needs a complete overhaul. Please advise. Thanks!

Please advise. > > Thanks! > yes, it does. As a quick action could add a marker there to indicate that it's for 2.x I'm gonna have to agree that it definitely needs some work. One thing I notice is that the link (near the top of the page) to supported bluetooth devices is broken. http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/features.html is the link I'm referring, and the site appears to be unmaintained... Okay, I fixed the dead link. Stupid upstream breaking stuff left and right. Same thing happened at bluez.org; their wiki is completely dead. I removed all mentions to any HCLs. Also, for the pand stuff . . . I just deleted the entire chapter on setting up PAN. None of us know how the hell to do it, so we need some instructions *ASAP*. Removing a whole chapter is an emergency fix; it's not a real solution. Given the new "bluez" package, probably our entire guide needs to be updated anyway. I know that I no longer use bluez-libs or bluez-utils, just net-wireless/bluez and blueman. I know these are still ~arch, but we should start overhauling the document anyway. But first and foremost, we really, really need a chapter explaining the correct method of setting up PAN! > But first and foremost, we really, really need a chapter explaining the correct > method of setting up PAN! > Please, cosult the Bug 278472 . There's a guide how to successfully set up PAN. Should I close this bug as duplicate of bug #278472 then? (In reply to comment #6) > Should I close this bug as duplicate of bug #278472 then? Why would you do that? Please do not change the status of bugs; let the docs team handle that. There is still work to be done on the guide. *** Bug 252214 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The packages bluez-utils is not in the tree any longer. It should be removed from the docs. For the NAP/PAN part, I found this howto working with current bluez-4.101-r1: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Bluetooth_Network_Aggregation_Point Please use the official wiki to add this chapter of information: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286826#c26 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286826#c27 http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bluetooth |
