I think the dbus interface already is part of the new plugin based stuff? Also, if I disable the plugin (DisablePlugins=input in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf), the whole /org/bluez/service_input dbus interface disappears. The relevant diff in upstream’s CVS does unfortunately not tell us more about why this was removed: http://bluez.cvs.sourceforge.net/bluez/utils/hcid/dbus-service.c?r1=1.151&r2=1.152 So I CC’ed upstream: Would you please explain us why this dbus interface was disabled, and what’s supposed to replace it?
