Hi all,

kdebluetooth (in extragear/pim) contains - among other things - three tools to 
exchange files with the OBEX protocol over bluetooth. The same protocol is 
used for IrDA and over cable connections. Simone Gotti, who maintains 
kdebluetooth with me, wants to add support for infrared and cable to the 
existing OBEX tools, but then these tools shouldn't be tagged with 
"bluetooth" anymore. This means we'd have to move them out of kdebluetooth 
into.. let's say extragear/pim/obex or whatever.

These programs use two internal libraries of kdebluetooth:
- libqobex, a generic obex implementation for Qt by Mathias Froehlich
- libkbluetooth, which contains several helper classes used throughout 
kdebluetooth.

libqobex could probably be used by other programs, as it is stable and we 
don't expect to change much.
libkbluetooth on the other hand is pretty incomplete for a general purpose 
bluetooth library. It only implements what is needed internally. So we very 
much prefer to share this library only among the the obex tools and the rest 
of kdebluetooth.
Is extragear/libs still the right place for such a library in that case?

Fred
