Bug#363689: obexpushd as drop-in replacement
Hi,
I am the libopenobex maintainer for Debian.
I can offer you a drop-in replacement for obexserver that I wrote for this
very purpose.
As a correction for your description, obexserver:
- cannot handle irda connection (bluetooth only)
- does not handle SDP stuff (reason for most of the bug reports)
- does not compile with current libopenobex
- has to be restarted for every file
obexpushd has the following features:
- serves irda and bluetooth connections (at the same time)
- sets up local SDP server correctly (needed by many mobile devices)
- does not overwrite files
- can run as real daemon or being started by a user (no-detach mode if
requested)
- aims to get fully compliant to Obex Push Profile
If you are interested, I can also package it myself but would need a sponsor
for the package. The other possibility is you being the packager and me the
upstream author. After that, obexserver package can be removed.
I did not call it obexserver as this name is simply too generic (look at
obexftp for additional possibilities).
Why did I write it?:
The main purpose it to get rid of obexserver as it is one of the remaining
packages that depend on the old openobex library package (affix being the
only other one).
Have fun...
HS
