Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal gnopernicus development has been discontinued by upstream in August 2006. A much more flexible solution is in development by Sun directly since about 2004, which is now packaged for Debian as gnome-orca. The whole accessibility community seems to have switched to this solution, and gnopernicus hasn't been mentioned on various mailing lists since about a year or so. If someone picks the codebase up and starts to maintain it again, we can reintroduce a package for it. But in the meantime, it does not make sense to invest resources into maintaining a package for gnopernicus, especially since it will need quite a bit of maintainance since the accessibility software stack is constantly changing these days... I therefore request the removable of the gnopernicus source package. P.S.: Currently, gnopernicus is holding the gnome-speech transition to testing up because it is not yet build on several arches. If at all possible, it would be helpful is gnopernicus could be removed ASAP.
