"orca-setup" being replaced by "orca --text-setup"



Hi All:

We're busy refactoring away at the preferences setting mechanism for
Orca.  I just checked in some changes to GNOME CVS HEAD that replaces
the separate "orca-setup" utility with a "--text-setup" command line
option for the "orca" command.  Before people get alarmed: WE ARE NOT
GETTING RID OF THE TEXT BASED SETUP.  Read on for more information...

The new mechanisms for setting up Orca at this point in time (they may
change slightly before the next release, so hang on to your hats), are
to pass command line options to the "orca" command.  These options are
as follows:

--text-setup: gives you the text-based preferences setup interface that
you used to get with orca-setup.  It does not require the desktop to be
running and can be run from a virtual console.

--gui-setup: gives you a GUI-based preferences setup interface, and is
also available via Insert+s when Orca is running.  This is still under
construction and does not work yet, so don't try it yet. We'll send an
e-mail when it's ready for a look (later this week).

Note that you also still have the option of manually editing the
preferences file in your favorite accessible editor.  

Will
