I've uploaded this to the proposed queue for Trusty.

Hello Anthony, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-bluetooth into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/3.8.2.1-0ubuntu4.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

The previous patch makes Wedge Touch mouse unusable. Re-work it so that both Sculpt and Wedge Touch mice can be used. Please see https://code.launchpad.net/~anthonywong/ubuntu/utopic/gnome-bluetooth/lp1312349

Seems the issue is intermittent, probably due to bluetooth device on this particular machine. I'm doing more testing now.

Tested again with fresh 14.04 fresh install and gnome-bluetooth 3.8.2.1-0ubuntu4.1, both Sculpt and Wedge mice can be paired, connected and usable.
I don't have the keyboard though, so I am asking help from Tim Chen to test that.

Found out that the previous patch has problem to re-connect the mouse after it's disconnected, need the patch in lp:~anthonywong/ubuntu/utopic/gnome-bluetooth/lp1312349 to fix it. Could someone please help to upload to utopic?

Meanwhile, set the tag to verification-failed.

Thanks for the work. Mathieu, do you think you could help reviewing those changes/getting them uploaded?

Unsubscribing sponsors for now. Please resubscribe when a SRU patch is available. Thanks!

Anthony, your patch is still proposed for trusty, could you test it and tell us whether things are working properly now, and in which releases?

So I can see what was uploaded to trusty isn't the same code as what I sponsored to utopic; let's remove that package and reupload the same fix that got into utopic.

Uploaded the updated fix to Trusty; pending review.
