BlueDevil will be taking over the KDE stack. AFAIK BlueZ is not dead. BlueZ is the Linux bluetooth stack that other programs use to access bluetooth devices. For a long time that program has been kbluetooth. Kbluetooth has never worked very well since a BlueZ stack update a while back (a couple of releases i believe) and apparently it's so full of hacks that nobody could be bothered to rewrite it so it's just been bodged to work (that's what i heard anyway). In the meantime BlueDevil has come along which aside from being better written also sports much better integration with the KDE environment. BlueDevil is still young and i have had a few problems with it so far but is certainly looking promising. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't... _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
