Hi, I'm interested in this transition to Bluez5 because I recently filed the following sync request for Blueman which is ultimately blocked by the absence of Bluez5.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blueman/+bug/1482626 Would you be able to build Blueman2 in this PPA as well? I'm more than happy to test it. Regards, Martin.
