GNOME stable update, gnome-orca 2.30.2

Lucid is the most accessible Ubuntu release in at least two years, maybe the most accessible ever. Many blind users stayed on Ubuntu 8.04 for two years, skipping the less stable releases in between. I believe this pattern will continue, and the blind will rely on Ubuntu Lucid far more than typical users over the next two years. However, Orca is progressing very rapidly. I believe we will be happy to test Orca new releases on the Vinux derivation of Ubuntu Lucid to help insure the stability of orca package upgrades. I hope that Ubuntu Lucid will be able to move forward for the blind over the coming two years, rather than staying back the way Ubuntu Hardy did.

Thanks,
Bill

Filtered debdiff with changes since 2.30.0.

Updated debdif with bug number.

The filtered debdiff looks fairly reasonable, and given the compelling rationale given for this SRU, ACK from me.

Accepted gnome-orca into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I not see any problem with this package.

I can also verify that the gnome-orca update shows know obvious signs of regression. I've also been able to test a few of the bug conditions mentioned in the changelog, and can verify that they are fixed.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-orca - 2.30.2-0ubuntu1
