Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: not needed with bluez5 stack by upstream decision.

The code is still there and the gatttool is built but I couldn't find a simple way to use make install to ship it.
Maybe you can look for a simple way expect from manually cp'ing the file.
Can you also tell us why gatttool should be included if upstream dropped it?
(and wtf is bootstrap-configure)
Managed to build it and cp the file. Gattool is generally usuful in Bluetooth 4.0 LE development which is gaining traction now. I came to Arch from Ubuntu where it was provided with package (yeah, now I know why - they still have old Bluez) so I found it missing.
