There's this bugzilla entry: 
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5031

I see a NAKd patch set from about 26 Mar 2014 which tried to add 
virtual/bluez.  The outcome was that a rework would be done and tested 
and resubmitted latter. In the related discussion there was some concern 
that dependent packages were still not ready to move even though the 
last bluez4 release was in June 2012.

With a little local hacking I can get bluez5 working well enough for my 
BTLE needs on beaglebone (mostly s/bluez4/bluez5/g and a PROVIDER for 
bluez-hcidump).  Does anybody have plans to work this during the early 
1.8 development cycle?  It looks pretty straightforward, but Idon't use 
BT in enough variants and packages to be able to test the full set of 
required patches.
