Hi. I am trying to get feedback on what we should do with gnopernicus for the lenny release. Apparently, development of gnopernicus has been discontinued upstream, all GNOME accessibility manpower seems to go towards developing orca these days, and the BAUM Retec AG team seems to have stopped maintaining it in August 2006. Is anyone actually still using it for someting? Should we keep the package around for Lenny? If so, how do we ensure it is maintained properly? Any volunteers for maintaining it upstream? One of the jobs that is coming up is to migrate the ttybrl.c code from brlapi from brltty 3.7.2 to the upcoming 3.8 packages. I expect other maintainance jobs like keeping the magnification code compatible with gnome-mag changes and so on. Or shall we rather orphan gnopernicus and "migrate" the remaining users (if anyy) to orca somehow? I guess adding a warning about discontinued development and a suggestion to try out gnome-orca to the gnopernicus package description might be a first step towards a migration. What do others think? -- CYa, Mario | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger mlang@db.debian.org : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/>
