Hey, I would like to request adding an alias for the bluez snap. Namely for the btmgmt command that is exposed by the snap since v5.44-3 (now in candidate) - revisions 124,129,123,126.
The rationale is that this is an official tool to manipulate the Bluetooth controller much like hcitool but using mgmt sockets.
I know about that post but was curious what the official format for such a post is as @jdstrand asked if this is an official request. Maybe if something like this doesnāt exist we should create something where we have predefined sections like for SRUs (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template) so that we have all necessary information with the first post.
Well, the URL @sparkiegeek referenced in essence does:
"Process
a requester creates a forum post with the āstoreā category and makes case for change. To disambiguate snaps, the requester should either give the store URL for the snap or give the name and publisher of the snap. Voting period starts at time of request
ā¦
"
Basically, make your request, justify it and give enough info to know what snap in the store we are talking about.
It still isnāt clear to me what is being requested here. Are you requesting just btmgmt or have you expanded to include everything? If the latter, can you provide details on the additional commands?
Please ignore my comment from above, @koza is the bluez maintainer, the original request is mandatory ā¦ btmgmt is the only desired alias at this time.
+1 for btmgmt. This request spun out but @koza is only requesting btmgmt. Issuing a 3 day extension to the voting period. @niemeyer, @ratliff , @roadmr - can one/all of you vote on whether or not to grant the auto-alias request for btmgmt to the bluez snap?
@niemeyer, @ratliff , @roadmr - ping. @ev, @natalia, @tyhicks - can one/all of you vote on whether or not to grant the auto-alias request for btmgmt to the bluez snap?
