Hi config people! I'd like to announce the availability of a Gnome Bluetooth configuration tool (with screenshots): http://noring.nocrew.org/bluetooth/ Fedora already ships a system service called "hcid", as part of the Linux Bluez packages. This Gnome tool makes it possible to configure basic Bluetooth device properties like status, name and pairing through this hcid. The actual Gnome tool part is very simple, because it's just a GUI glued on a DBus connection to hcid. It's currently written in C because I couldn't get the Python DBus library to work properly. The main work and important configuration improvements are made in hcid. Changes include: 1. A hcid DBus interface for Bluetooth device management as well as device configuration management, key pair management etc. 2. Plain text files for configuration storage. The current hcid shipped with Fedora uses for example the binary file /etc/bluetooth/link_key for paired keys. This file is based on a binary dump of a struct and as such will be difficult to move accross different architectures, compilers etc. This binary file is automatically converted to a plain text file located in /etc/bluetooth/keytab if this file does not already exists. 3. A device name cache for paried devices, making it possible to display the names of paired devices. 4. Persistant storage of configurations, by saving changes in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf, managed automatically by hcid. 5. A man page (hcid.1). These changes are not included in the main hcid branch yet. I think more testing and some technical discussions/improvements on for example the DBus interface are needed before this can happen. Comments? Any interest? (Specific lists for discussing Bluez and Gnome Bluetooth in general are <bluez-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxx> and <gnome-bluetooth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>.) Fredrik
