obexd: Question about PBAP support

obexd: Question about PBAP support

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Hi,
i tried to write a plugin for obexd to support the phonebook of 
freesmartphone.org.

Browsing the device with "sdptool browse" shows Phonebook Access on channel 
15, so i thing obexd is running properly. But when connecting a real PBAP 
device (tried Parrot Minikit and a BMW car system) the methods in my plugin 
aren't called. (I added some debug output at the beginning of the functions 
and that's not shown.)

So, did someone tried before to use PBAP with a real device?
And how can i help to get this working?

Before running obexd you need to make sure that your driver will be
linked as phonebook.c, you can select it by doing
--with-phonebook=<driver name>, this will be expanded to
phonebook-<driver name>.c where it should be implemented.

I got it working with obex-client + pbap-client and obexd + ebook
driver, but pbap code is maybe not mature yet for real devices, the
driver support was just introduced few months ago and of course
patches are welcome.
