I've been following the development of obex-data-server quite closely and I wrote an ebuild for it, too. Find attached my ebuild that additionally adds a init.d file which is very important for me. Please add these enhancements. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 142879 [details] obex-data-server-0.1.ebuild My very own ebuild for obex data server.
Please attach the init script then but note this about the system wide instance: 01:40 < holtmann> Installing /etc/dbus-1/system.d/obex-data-server.conf should be a configure option. Default to off. Running it as system user in a multiuser system is a security issue.
Created attachment 143006 [details] obex-data-server.rc
I know that this is a potential security risk on multi user systems but it's really helpful for headless system (get files from a server to your mobile phone)

yeah, you are totally right. This init.d file was the old one I used and I accidentially uploaded it. Adding --system-bus is necessary. Sorry for the confusion.

The debug use flag went in in 0.3.
obex-data-server is obsoleted by obexd and also no longer developed
