From: Mikel Astiz <mikel.astiz@xxxxxxxxxxxx> This RFC is work-in-progress: the patches are not intended to be applied, but instead submitted as a base for discussion. The patchset proposes three inter-related changes: (1) Splitting of individual btd_profile instantes per role. Some profiles do already have such separation (see HFP-Gateway) but some others have all roles merged into one (see A2DP or PAN). (2) Exposure of internal APIs to connect/disconnect devices, as proposed by the btd_profile approach (.connect and .disconnect). The goal would be not only to support Device.Connect, but also to be able to implement connection-handling plugins such as the IVI case. (3) The exposure of a D-Bus API to connect/disconnect profiles, and report the current state (disconnected, connecting, or connected). The goal here would be to be able to implement Bluetooth-centric UIs, which typically show which profiles have been connected per device. Additionally, this would allow implementing connection-handling policies externally, instead of in a plugin. Each of this point requires some discussion. For example, in point (2), there are different possible way to expose an internal API to connect/disconnect profiles. The patchset, in fact, proposes different approaches for HID (patch 08/15), where it's btd_profile-aware, or networking (patch 03/15), where the internal API has nothing to do with the btd_profile infrastructure. The D-Bus API could have several variants as well, one of them being the currently existing one in BlueZ 4.x. This first RFC proposes a completely different one, based on a new D-Bus interface (org.bluez.Profile, see patch 15/15), which is admittedly ugly. I hope some of this ideas can make sense for BlueZ 5.
