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

ATSPI2 migration

  • atspi1 deprecation
    • florence
      • bug #637221 reported and fixed
    • mousetweaks
      • Newer upstream 3.0 and later don't use cspi any more
    • gok
      • Drop it?
    • gnome-mag
      • ?
    • dasher
      • ?

Packaging

afaik a11y support for mono is packaged, is there more to package / update or is testing still needed for this?

What is the status of this? the web page claims the repo is at https://googlecode.com/hg/ but that's an empty hg repo. Is developement happening somewhere else?

Installation

More generic details on http://brl.thefreecat.org/wiki/Installer

  • 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 AT-SPI and Orca/gok to debian installer
