### Old Ubuntu Delta ###
brltty (6.9.1+repack-1ubuntu1) stonking; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian unstable. (Closes LP: #2153289) Remaining changes:
+ Add udev rules file that uses brltty-udev.service to activate via
systemd
- debian/brltty-udev.service
- debian/brltty.dirs
- debian/brltty.udev.rules.patch
- debian/rules
- debian/clean
+ Disable brltty.service by default, but enable it if the user configures
Braille at install time for a non-USB display
- debian/rules
* Dropped:
+ Add brltty-setup
+ Add initramfs integration to run brltty-setup
+ Cleanup of the Ubuntu-specific delta on top of Debian brltty 6.7-1
(pkg/import/6.7-1). The goal was to split the delta into logical commits
and drop code that no longer works or is no longer useful on modern
Ubuntu.
Two platform facts drive most of the reasoning below:
- Ubuntu installs via Subiquity, not the classic Debian Installer
(d-i) anymore. The udeb/finish-install.din-target
install-time flow these features targeted is effectively dead for
Ubuntu.
- Modern initramfs uses /run/initramfs, not the historical
/dev/.initramfs. The latter path exists nowhere on current systems.
