From c0188e69d336b5c921e026b3307e70b6ea7e9a47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Huth Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2018 11:00:30 +0100 Subject: bt: Mark the bluetooth subsystem as deprecated It has been unmaintained since years, and there were only trivial or tree-wide changes to the related files since many years, so the code is likely very bitrotten and broken. For example the following segfaults as soon as as you press a key: qemu-system-x86_64 -usb -device usb-bt-dongle -bt hci -bt device:keyboard Since we are not aware of anybody using bluetooth with the current version of QEMU, let's mark the subsystem as deprecated, with a special request for the users to write to the qemu-devel mailing list in case they still use it (so we could revert the deprecation status in that case).
