blueman rpm for Fedora 8

yesterday i was searching for a good front end software which helps in using the bluetooth easy in the gnome desktop environment. after searching in yahoo, found the software http://www.gnomefiles.com/app.php/blueman. The software is really cool and is written in python.

Using blueman after extracting it from source is pretty easy. But in order to use all the features you need to have btsco/libsbc and btsco kernel modules.

In order to maintain the software easy on RPM based systems, i'd created a spec file and created the rpm. The spec file is here
