Availability: - Currently in the Ubuntu Universe archive Rationale: - Use by the Braille embosser support which got recently added to cups-filters. There it will be used alternatively to liblouis. In contrary to liblouis it does not only translate the plain text content of the input files into Braille but also format and layout information will be expressed in the Braille output.
Security: - No known CVEs about this package; no SUID/GUID binaries, no binaries in /usr/sbin/, no daemons or services. no ports opened at all, input and output only via files and stdin/stdout. The executable file2brl is started as the "lp" system user of CUPS, not by root. Quality assurance: - When the package is installed, the filters for the Braille embosser detect the presence of file2brl automatically and use it then. - Manual conversion via direct call of file2brl is also possible. - Package installation does not ask debconf questions - No recent bugs reported on this package - Package is maintained in Debian and regularly updated there. Ubuntu auto-syncs it. - Package supports all Braille embossers, so it is a general accessibility package and not a driver for some rare hardware models. - Test suite is failing and overridden in debian/rules. - debian/watch file is present. UI - Text mode/command line utility with man page, no GUI Dependencies - All build and runtime dependencies are already in Main Standards compliance - Claims Debian standards compliance 3.9.7 in debian/control - Files in the binary packages follow FHS and Debian standards Maintenance - Package synced with Debian and regularly updated there. Ubuntu bug contatc is currently the Ubuntu Printing Team, will probably get moved to accessibility team. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1564058 Title: [MIR] liblouisutdml To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/liblouisutdml/+bug/1564058/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
