quote Phil:

"The right way to fix this, I think, is to split the current monolithic
bluez4 package back into bluez-libs and bluez-apps (i.e. how it used to
be packaged in bluez3 days).  It's only the apps part that has the
monstrous dependencies: the libs are more-or-less self-contained, so
this way people who only want to link with the libs can avoid building
all the app prerequisities.

I did check in a bluez-libs_4.40 recipe last week sometime, which builds
just the library half of the package, but I didn't yet get time to
finish the apps part of the equation.  I've attached a work-in-progress
draft of an apps recipe in case anybody else is enthused enough to
finish it off.

In the slightly longer term it might even be worth going further than
that and splitting up bluez-apps into yet smaller recipes.  Taking
GStreamer as an example again, this is only required by one part of the
apps package (the bluez-gstreamer plugin) and I suspect this particular
plugin is of somewhat fringe interest: there are certainly plenty of
useful things you can do without it."
