No, it's not absolutely necessary, but somebody has to reinvent the wheel, and I'm not happy spending time doing that. > Please remember that BlueZ will run on embedded devices with limited > memory and space requirements.

And if such uses exist, I'm sure they'd be happy putting some effort into bluez and do the port from gudev to libudev themselves. > > I won't be updating this patch, but Luiz showed interested.

All my patches are sent upstream before they go into the packages, and I think I put quite a bit of work into this. But at the end of the day, I only have so much time, and rewriting bits of code because the upstream doesn't like GObject isn't what I call a good use of my time. So I'm leaving it to somebody else to go the last mile because I can't be bothered. > On that point, you haven't merged the Socket fix upstream It's not upstreamable, see the RH bugzilla.

I still believe the UTF-8 one could be merged as-is, but I don't have a good answer for the Wacom one, which would need more investigation. > I know you send some version > of these at least once or twice, but besides me also Johan could merge > these patches.
