Bug 18571 – Bluetooth fix

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Frank Aune 2003-03-31 23:53:50 UTC]

The bluez-kernel ebuild is as of 2.4.20 (? possible 2.4.x) deprecated, so this should _clearly_ be displayed in the description string for bluez-kernel. Ive attached ebuilds which bumps the version numbering on the other bluez ebuilds you need, and removed the bluez-kernel dependancy.

Cheers!

Umm, it seems that the current gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r2 doesnt have the rfcomm module patch, which - if im not mistaking - renders bluetooth support on Gentoo completely broken. (No matter if youre using the old or new setup)

[Comment 5 Frank Aune 2003-04-01 01:26:13 UTC]

Ok, another update. It seems that the latest kernel patch:

http://www.holtmann.org/linux/kernel/patch-2.4.20-mh6.gz

applies cleanly and works. This patch incorporates what is in 2.4.21_pre6 at least, and will probably be safe to merge in gentoo-2.4.20-r3. Even if something does go wrong, it sure beats the current situation where everything is broken wheater you use the old or new approach :-)

Cheers!

Im successfully using my approach to mount my Nokia 7650 over NFS using 
bluetooth. Everything seems quite stable and play along nicely.  

[Comment 9 Eric Johanson 2003-04-13 18:47:12 UTC]

Here is a functional /etc/init.d/bluetooth script that loads the required user-land apps to use bluetooth on 'boot'.  It depends on the bluez-utils and bluez-sdp ebuilds (attached to this bug, or in portage tree). 

Note that you'll still need the rfcomm patch, also listed in this bug, but not included with gentoo as of yet.

this patch is in gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r3 which is now in portage.

latexer... do you want to look @ these ebuilds & version bump? i've added the requested 
kernel portion to gentoo-sources.

[Comment 14 Peter Johanson (RETIRED) 2003-04-27 10:46:54 UTC]

i've commit the ebuild for bluez-{libs,sdp,utils,pan} to reflect the latest released.

jay: soon as gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r3 is unmasked, i'll unmask the latest version of all these bluetooth related ebuilds. I don't want to unmask this til there's native support in the gentoo kernel for this stuff though.

eric: i'll add a -r1 of the utils ebuild including the init script once i hear back from that email i sent you.

[Comment 15 Peter Johanson (RETIRED) 2003-05-09 12:19:59 UTC]

I just unmasked these ebuilds, now that gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r4 is out the door. *please* test this for me and report success/failures as i have no bluetooth hardware currently to test on.

[Comment 16 Jay Pfeifer (RETIRED) 2003-11-27 22:02:34 UTC]

ok... i think enough time has passed and would be safe to say the request in this bug has been fulfilled.
