Unofficial brltty 3.7.2 Debian package
Hi,
I have built a Debian package of brltty 3.7.2, the changelog entry is at
the bottom. I have no braille device to test this package, but it seems
to work, the new X-Window module prints something. This module pulls in
some packages from X11. I would say that this is acceptable because
developments for many assistive technologies are now based on X, but
maybe some people would prefer a stripped down package.
Packages are available at
http://people.debian.org/~barbier/tmp/brltty/
and built for sid.
Mario, will you have some time to have a look and incorporate the
changes you like in your version? Otherwise, may I upload this into
unstable?
Thanks.
brltty (3.7.2-0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* New upstream release. (Closes: Bug#343122 which is a request for this update)
* Killing brltty sometimes take a long time, thus replace the 5s delay in
/etc/init.d/brltty by start-stop-daemon --retry 5. (Closes: Bug#313262)
Thanks Samuel Thibault for the report and a patch.
* Fix a typo in brltty.postrm so that /etc/brlapi.key is removed when
purging. (Closes: Bug#327238)
* Modify debconf scripts to avoid the "debconf is not a registry" trap.
brltty.config now sets debconf values with those found in /etc/brltty.conf.
The mapping between drivers code and name is put in debian/map.* files, and
templates and config scripts take their values from these files.
* Replace perl code by sed in brltty.postinst.
* New debconf translations:
- Swedish, by Daniel Nylander (Closes: Bug#341029).
- Vietnamese, by Clytie Siddall (Closes: Bug#313182).
* Update German debconf translations, by Jens Seidel (Closes: Bug#314146).
