Hi all, as the bluez package maintainer for openSUSE, I'm trying to transition the package to build without "--enable-deprecated". Now the users started asking me what to use as a replacement for the deprecated tools. For many of the tools, the answer is "just use bluetoothctl and let bluetoothd handle things" (hciconfig, hcitool, sdptool) But for rfcomm, I have not been able to find a suitable replacement. All the other implementations of rfcomm services that I could find in a quick search (some python modules, blueman) just basically reimplement the functionality of rfcomm (socket(), bind(), connect(), ioctl()...), some of them in really odd / crazy ways, which is probably not the way to go... So is there a way to set up a rfcomm device via bluetoothctl? I could not find one, but maybe I did not look hard enough? If not, could we please un-deprecate rfcomm, because having everyone out there reinvent the functionality in crazy ways probably is not a good idea. Or should I just continue to build the package with --enable-deprecated? But that will ship tools with known unfixed security issues (hcidump).
