Bug#705530: unblock: brltty/4.4-10
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package brltty
The intent of these changes is to fix bug #680636 by allowing to use the
braille keyboard to type login/passwd at gdm3, by automatically running
the braille key presses relay tool, xbrlapi.
On systems without brltty running, it will just exit immediately.
