For quite a while now the bluez packages on Gentoo haven’t been maintained so we have been stuck in 2.25. I decided to fix this so I bumped bluez-libs and bluez-utils to 3.10. You need to run revdep-rebuild –library libbluetooth.so.1 as upstream decided to increase the .so number to 2. Also worth nothing is that they have changed the way pins are asked from the user to a DBUS based API. If you have security set to user in hcid.conf you most likely want to install an applet that asks the PIN from you. There is now net-wireless\/bluez-gnome for GNOME users and >=net-wireless\/kdebluetooth-1.0_beta2 for KDE users.
\nThe bug reports this fixed are
\nbluez-libs and bluez-utils:

\nA couple of new ones were opened against the new version too so there is still some work before it is ready for stable. Hopefully I just need to proxy maintain the packages for a user.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
