Gregory is asking explicitly about bullseye-proposed-updates, which can have once one of the Stable Release Managers has time to review and acknowledge the pu upload (as the upload already happened). We'll be releasing 11.1 this weekend, so energy is spend on that now (and new pu requests aren't processed now [1]), but after the 11.1 release, it *could* happen quickly (not saying it does as SRM typically processes in batches), so it could be available well before 11.2.

Hello Samuel. It seems that the updated brltty package hasn't yet made it into bullseye-proposed-updates. Is there any news on when that would happen? Thanks.

I've seen on #debian-release: aurel32: rspamd succeeeded, so I added a force-skiptest hint. glibc should migrate tonight. Samuel

Any idea how long > it will take to move from stable-proposed-update to stable? I'll first have to wait for brltty to enter testing (at least 5 days). Unfortunately that's entangled with the glibc migration to testing. Hopefully that'll happen soon since some fixes have been done there and the migration delay was explicitly set to 2 days. Then it'll have to pass through the release team, which can be days. Hopefully that'll make it for the 11.1 release on october 9-10. Samuel

I have uploaded a fixed package in my bullseye-tmp repository: To use this repository, you need to add this to your sources.list: deb https://people.debian.org/~sthibault/tmp/bullseye-tmp ./ and run sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyring.debian.org 900CB024B67931D40F82304BD0178C767D069EE6 and then you can install packages like this: sudo apt install brltty/bullseye-tmp-sthibault Could you test it before I request a stable-proposed-update?

Bug#994729: brltty doesn't start on GUI login screen if sysvinit-core is used
Package: brltty Version: 6.3+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Tags: a11y Dear Maintainer, When using sysvinit as the init system, brltty shows "screen not in text mode" at the lightdm and gdm3 login screen. This is because the /var/lib/BrlAPI/0 socket is missing at boot. The fix is to add "$local_fs" to the "Required-Start" line of /etc/init.d/brltty. So, the lsb header of /etc/init.d/brltty should read as follows: ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: brltty # Required-Start:mountkernfs $local_fs # Required-Stop: # Should-Start: udev # Should-Stop: # Default-Start: S # Default-Stop: # Short-Description: Braille terminal driver # Description: Used to provide access to refreshable braille terminals. ### END INIT INFO Implementing this fix to brltty in debian would be much appreciated.
