Debian Changelog brltty (3.7.2-7.1)

2007

brltty (3.7.2-7.1) unstable; urgency=high

   * Non-maintainer upload.
   * Move xbrlapi to package brltty-x11 and libbrlttybba.so to package brltty
     (closes: #411426), because libbrlapi1 should only contain the shared
     library.  Move xbrlapi from /bin to /usr/bin in the process.  Thanks,
     Samuel Thibault!
   * Urgency high to hopefully get this into etch.

brltty (3.7.2-7) unstable; urgency=medium

   * The "hopefully final for Etch" release.
   * Fix out-dated reference to text-table fr in default config
     (Closes: Bug#406610).
   * Use 'usb:' and 'auto' as defaults for braille-device and braille-driver
     in finish-install.  This results in a correct brltty.conf
     file if the user uses the shortcut "brltty=,,de" to
     activate brltty in the installer with a different translation
     table then the default (german in this example). Thanks to Simon for
     triggereing this and to Samuel for providing the patch
     (Closes: Bug#406257).
   * Urgency medium because this should ideally make it for etch.

2006

brltty (3.7.2-6) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Backport Handy Tech Modular Evolution 64/88 support from upstream
     repository. This change is harmless, adds support for new hardware
     that I will need in stable and only affects one driver module that
     I have the hardware for to test if it still works.
     This would be very nice to have in etch.

 -- Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>  Thu, 14 Dec 2006 18:13:27 +0100

brltty (3.7.2-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Rename finish-install.d script to 05brltty (from 50brltty) (Closes
     Bug#400538).
   * Enable the preference menu in the udeb build (Closes: Bug#374556).

 -- Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>  Mon, 27 Nov 2006 14:07:01 +0100

brltty (3.7.2-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Acknowledge NMU for libbluetooth2-dev Build-Depends, thanks!
     (Closes: Bug#376863).
   * Fix FTBFS "'MAX_NR_CONSOLES' undeclared" (Closes: Bug#392135).
   * Move 50brltty from prebaseconfig.d to finish-install.d
     (Closes: Bug#373118).
   * Move libbrlttybba.so to package libbrlapi1 (Closes: Bug#384254).
   * Upgrade Standards-Version to 3.7.2.

 -- Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>  Tue, 10 Oct 2006 19:09:25 +0200

brltty (3.7.2-3.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Non-maintainer upload.
   * changing build-depends from libbluetooth1-dev to libbluetooth2-dev |

     Godoy. (Closes: #376863)
     Thanks!

 -- Alexander Schmehl <tolimar@debian.org>  Thu, 27 Jul 2006 13:54:51 +0200

brltty (3.7.2-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add libbluetooth1-dev to Build-Depends.

   * Go back to libxaw7-dev (on request from the XSF).
   * Remove brltty.1 from udeb (Closes: Bug#359326).

       kernel command line.
     * Add udev rules for autostarting brltty when USB devices are probed.
     * Disable framebuffer and install brltty when brltty got auto-started.

 -- Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>  Wed, 19 Apr 2006 13:04:54 +0200

     translators) (Closes: Bug#313182, Bug#314146, Bug#341029).
   * Add --retry 5 to init script stop/restart targets (Closes: Bug#313262).

 -- Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>  Wed, 22 Feb 2006 09:39:36 +0100

2004

brltty (3.4.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Include Czech debconf translation (Closes: Bug#237678).
   * debian/brltty.postinst: erm, it is /etc/brltty.key, not -key.

 -- Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>  Fri, 12 Mar 2004 19:30:59 +0100

brltty (3.4.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

     a tab immediately follows the option name are edited properly.

 -- Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>  Tue, 20 Jan 2004 10:48:26 +0100

brltty (3.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream version:
     * "Fixes" my blunder with makePath since what I backported
       to 3.3.1-7 is now integrated (Closes: Bug#226656).

 -- Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>  Sun, 4 Jan 2004 20:19:23 +0100

2003

brltty (3.3.1-7) unstable; urgency=low

   * Massive patch to enable inclusion of all driver modules in the
     executable for brltty-udeb (this saves more space, and fixes the problem
     that driver modules were referencing symbols defined in the executable):
     - Programs/{spk,brl}_driver.h: Rename the {Braille,Speech}Driver structs
       from {brl,spk}_driver to {brl,spk}_driver_XX where XX is the two-letter
       driver code.  This change went already into upstream's subversion
       repository, and is how 3.4 will do it.  However, backporting this
       change into 3.3.1 means that you can not use this version of BRLTTY
       with driver modules compiled for a standard 3.3.1
       (upstream doesn't support any kind of versioning anyway, and expects
        that the executable and driver modules are in sync at all times, so this
        will only beat those who already try to do unsupported things.)
     - configure.in: Add --enable-all-builtin.  (This is not how
       3.4 will do it, but upstream doesn't have this in subversion yet,
       so I had to go ahead and implement it myself (somehow ugly, but still
       working).
     - config.mk: Add BUILTIN_DRIVERS and DRIVER_LIST variables for conditional
       linking of all driver modules into the executable.
     - Drivers/*/braille.c: Make various private globals static.
     - Drivers/*/speech.c: Make #include "Programs/misc.h" appear before
       #include "Programs/brl_driver.h" to make macros available.
     - Documents/{brltty.{conf,1},Manual.sgml}: Document the fact that
       specifying drivers by full shared object path is no longer supported.
     - debian/rules: Use --enable-all-builtin if building the udeb.
     (Closes: Bug#211092, Bug#219928)

 -- Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>  Sat, 15 Nov 2003 13:04:39 +0100

brltty (3.3.1-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add package groff to Build-Depends (closes: #219364)

 -- Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>  Thu, 6 Nov 2003 12:18:43 +0100

brltty (3.3.1-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add linuxdoc-tools to Build-Depends (closes: #218815)
   * Upgrade to Standards-Version 3.6.1.

 -- Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>  Sun, 2 Nov 2003 20:38:47 +0100

brltty (3.3.1-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Patch from 3.4-branch: Support for HandyTech Braillino.
   * debian/control: Added Braillino to list of HandyTech devices
   * debian/po/nl.po: Updated (Closes: Bug#215363).
   * debian/rules:
     - Install Drivers/*/README* in /usr/share/doc/brltty/.
     - Remove the vh driver from brltty-udeb since it is redundant and
       currently broken.  Vario users should use Emulation 3 (PB1) or
       Emulation 4 (PB2) with the TSI (ts) driver.

 -- Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>  Wed, 29 Oct 2003 18:00:45 +0100

brltty (3.3.1-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Programs/scr_linux.c:
     - Patch from 3.4-branch: Assume a direct-through mapping if
       ioctl GET_UNIMAP returns a zero-element map.
   * New Japanese debconf translation (Closes: Bug#210711).

 -- Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>  Thu, 11 Sep 2003 15:09:00 +0200

brltty (3.3.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/brltty.init:
     - Use --pidfile for start-stop-daemon to prevent starting several
       instances of BRLTTY.  This also removes a indirect dependency on
       a mounted /proc since start-stop-daemon requires it when used with
       --exec or --name (Closes: Bug#208323).
   * Change Architecutre of binary package brltty to any.
   * Switch to po-debconf (Thanks to Christian Perrier, Closes: Bug#205806).
   * Add French debconf translation (Closes: Bug#206732).
   * Add Brazilian Portuguese debconf translation (Closes: Bug#187782).
   * Update German debconf translation.
   * Update debian/lintian.override.

   * debian/brltty.post{inst,rm}:
     - Create (only if not existing) and rm /etc/brlapi-key.
   * debian/control:
     - Add packages libbrlapi and libbrlapi-dev.

   * New upstream release (Closes: Bug#177400)
   * Remove undocumented.7 link and replace it with a real manpage from upstream
     (yay!)
   * Set standard-version to 3.5.8
   * debian/brltty.templates:
     * texttbl: renamed to text-table and changed text.german->text.de,
       text.sweden->text.se1 and text.swedish->text.se2 and added text.ru.
     * speech-driver: New question.
     * braille-driver: Now put the full driver name in the select, and look the
       two letter combo up in brltty.postinst.
       brldriver: Removed.

     on upgrade.
   * debian/brltty-udeb.init: Remove mknod again, upstream handles devfs now.
   * debian/rules:
     * Build brltty and -udeb with --disable-tainted-components.  This
       prevents accidental builds with the viavoice speech module included.
     * Build brltty-udeb with CFLAGS=-Os, --disable-speech-support and
       --disable-pm-configfile.
   * Update lintian.override to get rid of select-with-translated-default-field
     and bogus partial-translated warnings.
