Package: bluez
Version: 4.60-1
Severity: normal
Filippo,
as already said in IRC, current documentation is largely suboptimal.
I finally managed to pair devices by blueman, but I would expect
to obtain pairing using hcitool and rfcomm. Command line workflow
is completely undocumented. Maybe upstream would expect people write their own
python snippets of code to obtain that? I have to use those crap applets
only seriously?
But for that, I also find the pairing quite weak, I can easily break
the connection permanently (i.e. until next reboot). Too bad. I will
try to report issues about that, but this a warn about the status
of the package. IMHO as it is currently, it is not at release quality.
