== Summary == Move deprecated bluez bluetooth utilities to a sub package to indicate their status. == Owner == * Name: [[User:pbrobinson| Peter Robinson]] * Email: [mailto:pbrobin...@fedoraproject.org| pbrobin...@fedoraproject.org] == Detailed Description == There's a number of utilities in the upstream bluez bluetooth package that have long been deprecated with their functionality replaced by the core bluetoothctl utility. They're no longer receiving updates and at some point may be removed. Move these utilities to a dedicated sub package to indicate their upstream support status. == Benefit to Fedora == Users are aware of the status of the various bluez utilities and why they may not support newer bluetooth functionality. == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** Create a sub package for deprecated bluetooth utilities, that is installed on upgrade, but not installed by default on new installs. * Other developers: ** No impact * Policies and guidelines: N/A * Trademark approval: N/A == Upgrade/compatibility impact == The new sub package will be installed on upgrade if bluez is installed, the deprecated utilities sub package will not be installed by default on a new install but will be available in the package repository. == How To Test == Check the new package is installed on upgrade, check the new package isn't installed for new installs == User Experience == Users shouldn't notice any difference, these utilities aren't used by standard bluetooth integration into desktops such as mice/keyboards/audio. They are command line utilities and bluetoothctl has superseded them and generally supports more functionality and newer reversions of the bluetooth spec. == Dependencies == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: N/A it's a straight fowrard packaging change. * Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Blocks release? No. * Blocks product? No. == Documentation == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Release Notes == N/A -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org
