Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.9.5, Package name: gtypist-2.9.5, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

GNU Typist (also called gtypist) is a universal typing tutor. You can learn
correct typing and improve your skills by practicing its exercises on a
regular basis. Its main features are:

- It is free software released under the GNU General Public License. In
addition, it is an official program of the GNU project.
- It comes with several typing tutorials: in Czech, English (Qwerty and Dvorak
keyboard), Russian and Spanish, as well as simpler exercices in German,
French and Norwegian.
- It interprets a simple and intuitive scripting language that describes typing
tutorials. You can easily modify existing tutorials or create new ones
according to your needs.
- It supports internationalization and already has an interface in Czech,
English, Finnish, French, German and Spanish.
- Users can navigate through lessons through an easy to use arrow key based
menu interface. 'vi' up, down, left and right keys can be used too!
- Thanks to its execution in text mode with the curses library, it can be
compiled and used on several operating systems, in particular on GNU/Linux
and GNU/HURD, on several variants of Unix, as well as on Windows/DOS with
the DJGPP compiler and the PDCURSES library.

Log message:
Update to 2.8.3.

Changes:
 2.8.3
     This release properly fixes a bug regarding rounding of error rates, which was
     not fixed properly in the previous version. 
 2.8.2
	 A rounding error was fixed that was causing the user to "fail" a drill
	 despite having apparently met the error rate requirement. A
	 user-submitted Basque translation was added.
