Reply-To: BlueZ development List-Id: BlueZ development List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: bluez-devel-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: bluez-devel-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Hi, I am observing the following: After i have set the mode with SetMode and the timeout with SetDiscoverableTimeout, the corresponding settings in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.c= onf (discovto for example) are no longer used (i can enter there whatever i want and restart hcid, but hcid simply won't care). I am assuming this is a feature :-) I am, however, getting some bugreports of people that are confused that this no longer "works as expected", especially since they are making settin= gs in a config tool (let's call it "YaST" :-) which are not honored. So how to proceed here best? Let YaST write the hcid.conf _and_ set the settings with apitest? Just drop this part of the YaST configuration tool? Remove /var/lib/bluetooth/*/config on every boot? ;-) I am right now tempted to say "we do no longer need a system wide config tool since we have the DBus API" and drop almost all of the YaST bluetooth module (keep only the stuff where you can disable bluetooth completely, enable each daemon separately and specify the daemon options). But then, shouldn't we remove all the stuff that is more or less obsolete from the shipped hcid.conf and just use compiled-in defaults until somebody comes along and configures the system via the DBus API? Any opinions? How is this handled on other distributions? -- = Stefan Seyfried QA / R&D Team Mobile Devices | "Any ideas, John?"
