ArchLinux removed blueman from their repository because of this. I think we should lastrite it too. GNOME and KDE are covered fine, but since blueman doesn't work anymore, xfce-bluetooth might be suitable replacement (still in development): http://github.com/ncopa/xfce-bluetooth +1, CC treecleaner@ if you agree w/ removal Blueman has branch for bluez-5 on github. https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/compare/master...bluez5 Can anybody test this? Just a note to add that this is also going to be required for bluetooth support under Mate desktop 1.8 as they've dumped the "mate-bluetooth" package. (See the release details @ http://www.mate-desktop.org/blog/2014-03-04-mate-1-8-released/) As Mate 1.6 is currently being mainlined into portage (and will presumably be bumped to 1.8 not long after that), it's probably best to keep this hanging around for now and wait for a release of the bluez5 supporting "blueman-2".

blueman developement
ebuild for blueman5 with optional bluez5 use flag
The live ebuild works ok with bluez5, so no removal is needed... Additional info is available in bug #518992 we have git snapshots that work fine with bluez5 now. |
