Only problem I see here could be like applications relying on obexftp being in the global environment and removing them would break them. (IIRC some plasma related utilities).

BlueZ still has obexd so this is more accurately removing the OpenOBEX related things.

If we accept this, it needs to be mentioned in release notes.

Done.

worldofpeace: do you know more about the plasma situation? If needed this could be installed behind a guard like plasma5.enable.

@rnhmjoj I'm not sure.

Perhaps some maintainers/contributors of plasma5 will know

@bkchr @ttuegel

I rebased and moved the note to 20.03. Any update?

As far as I know this is still required by Plasma. Could you please put it behind a guard?

Thank you @ttuegel. Is this ok?

Since sharing files over bluetooth seems pretty uncommon and the packages are more than 200MB I propose we don't install them by default.

@bjornfor are you aware of other desktop environments that need these tools?

No, I'm not aware of other DEs that need this. I was just worried there were, seeing that commit.

Personally, sharing files over bluetooth is something I would like to do, if it worked reliably. But I've never good enough experience with bluetooth on linux to rely on it :-/

I checked and it appears it's likely dolphin needed this for that functionality. So it probably won't be that a desktop environment needs, more that a program that uses this functionality will need the packages installed.
