The outcome was that a rework would be done and tested and resubmitted latter. In the related discussion there was some concern that dependent packages were still not ready to move even though the last bluez4 release was in June 2012. With a little local hacking I can get bluez5 working well enough for my BTLE needs on beaglebone (mostly s/bluez4/bluez5/g and a PROVIDER for bluez-hcidump). Does anybody have plans to work this during the early 1.8 development cycle? It looks pretty straightforward, but Idon't use BT in enough variants and packages to be able to test the full set of required patches. Peter
