[opensuse-gnome] Why is it not possible to include Brltty daemon to The official Opensuse repository?
Dear core developers of Opensuse, I woulod like to valuably and with highest respect ask You, why it is not possible to include Brltty daemon to The Opensuse official repository? Brltty is depend on libicui and other libraries and it is really not easy to find compatible libraries to use brltty.rpm downloaded from The official Brltty WEB site. Susbblinux screen reader, eventhough it can be downloaded from repository, it supports only Com serial port and speech-dispatcher and if visually impaired user want to constructively cooperate with Your development team, without access to The console, it is not easy. For example, setting The necessary new values by using gconf. I would like to initiate constructive discussion about including Brltty to The official Opensuse repository. I know, that console based screen readers such as Yasr, Speakup are based on speech-dispatcher to be usable with sound cart and with Espeak synthesizer. Believe me, that i do not want to intrude You, but try to imagine, that You are no sight and You want to access The Opensuse console. Not many new computers are equipped with COM serial port and braille devices, which are using COM ports will be ralely used in future. If suseblinux is now more advanced and can use for example Tieman Braille Voyager connected throught The USB port, please let me know. By the way, i tested Suseblinux and i think, that it is one of The best awailable console based screen readers for Linux in general. It is simple and can reliably read many necessary information without user need to use many complex functions, which can be inwoked by various hod keys. But i found out, that Orca and Espeak are working reliably according to The my attempts, when i executed Orca from The console. And somebody of You modified Espeak and Pulseaudio, so The speech responsiveness is approximately 50 or 60 percent better than while working with Opensuse 11.2 live CD Gnome. So please, if it is not too expensive, would i please somebody of us to try to prepare Brltty.rpm for Opensuse? Here is direct download link for downloading latest .rpm Brltty package. http://mielke.cc/brltty/releases/brltty-4.1-1.i386.rpm Source .rpm can be downloaded by using http://mielke.cc/brltty/releases/brltty-4.1-1.src.rpm Please keep in mynd, that triing to use rpm -i --nodeps .rpm Package file will not solve issues with dependencyes. I did not tried to install Brltty by this way while working with Opensuse 11.3 milestone latest version, but if YOu did not include necessary .so libraryes, on which Brltty depends on, it will probably not work. Thank You for any advice. With kindness regards. Janusz Chmiel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

So let's add brltty. Do you want to maintain the package in openSUSE? We can help you learn how to do that if you want :-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
Yes, I agree. I found out, that rpm package will tell me The names of dependencyes, on which brltty depends on. But it is not easy to compile all libraryes from source, aspecially when one library depend on another. Command zipper will probably not help me. I also do not know, if i will have The chance to find all libraryes while using Google. But all instructions are welcomed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I understood the rpm was one you built. Was I wrong? You could certainly take it as a basis to create an openSUSE package that we can integrate, in that case. Did you already use the build service? If not, the first steps are described at: http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service_Tutorial Once you have a package building on Factory, we can add it to Factory.

I've created a proper brltty package. It's available in home:vuntz (in the build service) right now. Can you test it? Note that orca would have to be rebuilt to use it, but we'll do this when pushing brltty in Factory.

I've also put a orca package that uses it in home:vuntz. Testers welcome! Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
