-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Landing bluez5 in wily Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2015 16:30:37 +0200 From: Sebastien Bacher <seb...@ubuntu.com> To: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com> Hey there, Ubuntu is still using bluez4 at the moment, which is years old and unsupported for quite some time. We discussed landing the bluez5 update previous cycle [1] but that didn't happen, mostly because the touch stack was not ready. While Ubuntu Touch still not there, people are working on it and it was decided that we shouldn't block on them and get the update landing so we can move things forward and stabilize things before the LTS. The ppa used to prepare the transition is https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ubuntu/transitions/ and currently includes updated bluez packages as well as rebuilds/updates for GNOME/KDE/Unity desktops (other flavors should be handled as well, the blueman version in wily handles bluez4 and 5, cinnamon uses gnome-bluetooth, etc) Testing of the ppa and feedback/comments would be welcome since we would like to land that transition in the next week or so.
