Re: gnopernicus 0.7

[Adi Dascal <ad baum ro>]

Hi everybody,

I found out what was the issue with the 0.7.0 distribution. It was an
EXTRA_DIST missing (this should include the driver-files of brltty) in
the Makefile.am for the braille module. (See the patch attached).

If there is no objection on this topic I will make the commit with the
change and create an 0.7.1 release and put it on ftp.gnome.org.

Best regards,
Adi Dascal
PS: Sorry for the late answer (indeed we were out of the office).

I did not see the patch, but this probably because of not being able to
receive mails when I was out of the office. 
Now that I look in the archive I can see it. Thanks!
