        Hi,

        there are several users who test obexd 0.29 on the Nokia N900 running Maemo
        in order to have PBAP support. There are success reports with PBAP, but at
        the same time they cannot usb sync via Nokia PC Suite anymore. Is there any
        chance to get PC Suite working again in a future obexd version or does this
        depend on a non free Nokia code?
        Can you give any hints where to look at?
        In a forum a user posted success (with 0.19) and failure (with 0.29) logs:
        http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=763550#post763550

    First thanks a lot for this feedback, I wasn't aware that there were
    somebody trying to use newer version of obexd in N900, I will take a
    look how I can make usb compatible with N900, actually it should be
    just as bluetooth and work no matter which platform you are using but
    we are not there yet :(

    In the meantime you can try reverting the patch bellow and see if it helps:

    http://git.kernel.org/?p=bluetooth/obexd.git;a=commitdiff;h=6f56a4355585eb29535782f977ba545cc41dd382

Thanks for the hint. I built a package from 0.29, the patches from meego.gitorious.org and the reverted patch. Some from the community tested it and PC Suite via USB did work. Of course obexd had to be started with the added option "--capability !/usr/bin/gen-obex-capability.sh".

It seems the patch revert a conversion from unix signaling to dbus signaling.
The pcsuite-enable.sh script uses a unix signal to tell obexd a pcsuite
connection is requested.
Apperantly in meego this will be done using dbus..

Can't we convert pcsuite-enable.sh to also use dbus instead of reverting
the patch?  Can you help us out her Luiz?
