Re: [orca-list] Orca on GitHub

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

If you get orca from git, and this was done on an archlinux-type system 
when you do your regular updates of your archlinux system, your version of 
orca will also be updated from the git repository for you.  For people 
using other systems than archlinux that are not rolling release systems 
the instructions given for master here will also work.
