[Bluez-devel] Improving the PIN request a little bit

Hi,

I like to improve the PIN request stuff and my plan is to follow the
SuSE approach. Right now the hcid can use /etc/bluetooth/pin for
incoming connection or call the PIN helper. I like to move everything
into the PIN helper program and let this decide wether to return with a
fixed PIN from a file or call a GUI tool. This also means that I plan to
deprecated the Python based script and so remove the dependancy on
Python and Python-GTK. I like to have a simple shell script that may
call the bluez-pin binary or the KDE tool for it or whatever depending
on what is installed/configured and what desktop is running. If it fails
it falls back to the /etc/bluetooth/pin file and sends that string back
to the hcid. Comments?

Maybe it is also a good idea to do the same for the link key. Any ideas?

Regards

Marcel
