Notes about packaging

  • pkg-a11y project on alioth, we usually use git repositories.
  • speakup: speakup_decpc is not free, that's why we use a dfsg branch. To release a newer upstream version, pull the upstream branch from the dfsg branch, then pull the dfsg branch from the debian branch, then run git-buildpackage --git-tag --git-upstream-branch=dfsg
  • liblouis: import tarballs to the upstream-import branch (git-import-orig file.tar.gz --upstream-branch=upstream-import), then pull into the upstream branch and discard the conflicts in generated files which we do not ship in the .orig.tar.gz

TODO

Packaging

Installation

  • Tune accessibility support in the liveCD.
  • Add brltty/speakup parameters preseed support?
  • Create a webpage that generates preseed files according to the hardware selected by the user in a form.
  • Another way is putting parameters in the iso itself:

    [http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/remaster-append.sh]

  • Add software speech synthesis to debian installer (developped by

    SamuelThibault, snapshots available on [http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/]), that means

    • kernel sound drivers (kernel-wedge part commited)
    • userland asound (maintainer is not really cooperative...)
    • speech synthesis (espeak seems ok)
    • plug to speakup (espeakup works fine enough)
    • setting up the speaker volume (TODO)
  • Add AT-SPI and Orca/gok to debian installer (FJP would shout for the required disk space)

Misc

  • Add package tags: something like accessible-with::{at-spi,tty-screen-reader}, accessible-with::{braille,speech}, accessible-with::{gnome-orca,brltty,speakup}
  • Add an accessibility tag to bugs (and thus cc-ed to debian-accessibility)
  • Make accessibility bugs RC, or at least consider them with care during freeze?
  • Add an accessibility chapter to the new maintainer's guide
  • Add accessibility questions to the NM process.
  • Rasterize console fonts (595696)

Backports

  • brltty for newer hardware support
  • speech-dispatcher with pico support (>> 0.7.1)
