Package: bluez
Version: 4.42-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi Filippo,
/usr/share/doc/bluez/README.Debian says:
Legacy daemons
--------------
The bluez-compat package includes old legacy daemons such as dund,
pand and hidd for enabling dial-up, ethernet networking and input
devices over bluetooth.
Elsewhere I read that these would be going away.
It would be very helpful to document how we can change our existing
configurations to use bluetoothd.
For example, I had the following in /etc/default/bluetooth (now in
rc.local):
DUND_OPTIONS="--listen --persist --auth call treo"
After an hour of reading docs (which don't exist in the case of
main.conf) and Googling, I still have no clue how to use bluetoothd to
set up a connection with my Treo. Perhaps you can help us in the
transition by documenting it in README.Debian.
Thanks!
