I recently wrote the following note to debian-...@lists.debian.org: > The Debian "List of sections" pages (eg, https://packages.debian.org/stable) > have no section for accessibility. Please consider adding one, listing such > packages as BRLTTY, Emacspeak, and Orca. If it helps, I'd be happy to help > in assembling a starting point for the package list.
In response, I received the following suggestions from Paul Wise: > I believe that this list is based on the list of sections defined in > the Debian archive: > > https://salsa.debian.org/ftp-team/dak/blob/master/setup/core-init.d/020_sections This seems quite plausible, looking at the file. > Please discuss that with the accessibility team: > > https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility-devel I assume that this list is the right place to start doing that. > I think the needed action here is to report some bugs: > > https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting > > One against ftp.debian.org asking to create the section. > > One against ftp.debian.org asking to override the section for the > relevant packages. > > https://bugs.debian.org/ftp.debian.org > > One against each of the relevant packages asking to update the section. > > One against www.debian.org (usertagged for packages.debian.org) asking > to add the accessibility section description. Before I start filing bug reports, I'd like to find out if folks here are in favor of this idea and perhaps enlist some assistance in making it happen. Hence this note... -r
