RockMan (Marco Gulino) released today KDEBluetooth beta 2 (net-wireless/kdebluetooth). I have been using a live ebuild to keep track of all the great work that he has been doing. The most notable improvements are some compilation and stability fixes. A nice addition is the compatibility with the latest bluez and openobex versions. Let's remark that RockMan also develops KMobileTools (app-mobilephone/kmobiletools) which now is able to use KDEBluetooth as a library, which greatly improves its functionality.

Together with the version bump, I added localization support to the ebuild (-r1), so that it does not install unnecessary language locales. This way I follow with the tendency to remove unneded localization files.

If you want to try out KDEBluetooth, you might want to have a look at one of my small contributions to the Gentoo Documentation (with the help and collaboration of several people, see the authors list to the right for details): Gentoo Linux Bluetooth Guide
