Bug#236163: ITP: kernel-patch-bluez -- Linux Bluetooth protocol stack kernel patches

2004-06-10 Thread Edd Dumbill
As of about 2.4.21, there's enough in the mainstream Linux kernel to
support most Bluetooth operations.  Beyond that, the patches tend to
incorporate fixes that BlueZ want to get into Linux but haven't yet.

So, these patches are pretty much essential for kernels 2.4.18-2.4.20,
and very helpful for 2.4.21 to 2.4.26.

In the 2.6 series, the BlueZ guys have a lot more luck at merging right
into the next kernel revision, so packaging these patches doesn't seem
worth it there.

Bug#159651: No longer intend to package this

2004-04-12 Thread Edd Dumbill
retitle 159651 RFP: bluez-bluefw -- Firmware loader for BCM2003
Bluetooth devices
thanks

As kernel 2.6 has firmware loading support, this package is only
required for 2.4.  As it is also at least partially non-free, I don't
have time to pursue the division of firmware and its packaging in
Debian.

I will keep the bluez-bluefw package at the BlueZ site (bluez.org) up to
date as far as I am able, but I do not intend to maintain this in Debian
itself.

Bug#205250: coming soon

2004-04-12 Thread Edd Dumbill
Now I've got epiphany 1.2 into experimental, expect to see the plugins
package come soon.  Note that it will likely be called
epiphany-extensions, as plugins is an overloaded term.

Bug#159651: bluez-bluefw -- State of package

2002-10-10 Thread Edd Dumbill
Hi

The current state of bluez-bluefw is that I've built experimental
packages, available from http://bluez.sf.net/download/debian 

I currently consider the software too buggy to upload to the archive,
for the following reasons:

  * it will only work with UHCI USB controllers
  * it will not compile on non-i386 architecture

Bug#159651: ITP: bluez-bluefw -- Firmware loader for BCM2003 Bluetooth devices

2002-09-04 Thread Edd Dumbill
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: bluez-bluefw
  Version : 0.5
  Upstream Author : Maxim Krasnyansky [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://bluez.sf.net/
* License : GPL
  Description : Firmware loader for Broadcom BCM2003 Bluetooth devices

bluez-bluefw is a firmware loader for Bluetooth devices using the
Broadcom BCM2033 chipset.  This consists of two components:

(a) GPL'd software for loading the firmware
(b) The binary-only firmware itself (Broadcom have approved its
distribution)

My intent is to make two packages, bluez-bluefw and
bluez-bluefw-firmware.  The latter would have to go into non-free, and
the former into contrib as it requires a non-free package to function.

  Description : Utilities for controlling Bluetooth devices

The BlueZ project is developing the Linux Bluetooth stack and associated
tools and utilities.  The BlueZ kernel modules are likely to be in
kernel 2.4.19.

The utilities in this package allow basic operation of Bluetooth devices
attached to a Linux system.

Prototype packages are available at http://bluez.sf.net/download/debian

I'm not a Debian developer yet, but have found a sponsor for these
packages.

 the source package can still be called bluez-libs, as upstream calls it, 
 while the binary packages be called libbluetooth

Thanks for pointing this out.  That makes sense.

 You have read my libpkg-guide ?

Yes, I took a look at it this morning as I was reading through the ITPs
for other libraries.  It's a useful document, thank you.
