[Bluez-devel] New PIN helper, how to include with BlueZ?

[Radek Rurarz <fotopiper@o2.pl>]

Hello,
a new PIN helper has been born, and I think it's time to include it in
the BlueZ packages (including source packages) either as a default
helper, or as an option. The problem is neither me, nor the author have
a good sense of how such things happen for BlueZ.

For those who haven't fallowed our discussion I will gave a short
summary of the situation:

Dave Mielke has been working for some time on a new PIN helper for
BlueZ, one that deals in a more complex, and in my opinion complete way,
with the problem.

The basic approach is to have a list of pins and device addresses in a
file, form which the helper will extract the correct PIN. If the device
is not on the list a prompt is started on a new terminal, that asks for
PIN (giving all the standard information). In case the terminal prompt
is not welcomed, a secondary helper can be called (for instance the
python script already shipped with BlueZ, or other for KDE/GPE/OPIE or
any other). The prompt can be fully disabled. The script can be
configured either with a config file, or by command line parameters.

As can be seen above this gives more choices on chow to handle new
devices (list, prompt, secondary helper).
