Sender: bluez-devel-admin@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: bluez-devel-admin@lists.sourceforge.net Reply-To: bluez-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List-Unsubscribe: , List-Id: BlueZ development List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2006 19:06:06 +0100 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). --=20 Rados=B3aw Rurarz Warsaw Poland GG: 7249330 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
