Re: Orca Dependencies Question

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

Hi, Willie:


I've cc'd Jonathan Blandford of Red Hat into this email, because I think
Red Hat will want to bring out FC6 with Orca support. The development
schedules I've seen mesh quite nicely.

In fact, it seems the currently shipping Open Office already includes
the Michael Meeks direct AT-SPI to Uno bridge, if my reading of the
Changelog is correct.

So ...

For the record, anyone wanting this rpm can find it at:

ftp://ftp.SpeakupModified.Org/fedora/speakupmodified/current/RPMS/

This address will persist. Exchange SRPMS for RPMS in the above, and
you'll get the source rpm files. So, it's OK to link/publish this
address. I'll track your .tar.gz releases at least, and perhaps even
nightly CVS builds, if there's need for that.

I don't have to do anything special to build these. Your spec.in file
did the magic from a ./configure. So, it was a trivial task to build the
rpm.

I'm still working on the html page, but we'll also have web access to
these files soon.

Yes, FC5 here on all machines, and fully updated as of last night.

OK. I'll also build 0.3.10, as I am hoping to use ibmtts. Indeed, I'm
working on making it generally available for purchase at
http://TTSynth.Com, but we've been stuck for quite a few months for
various reasons.

That's the main reason I've cc'd Jonathan into this email. I'm hoping
he can help us track this better. I'd hate to build these only to find
them showing up in the development repository a day later. On the other
hand, I'm happy to build any that aren't likely to show up there very
soon. So, it seems some coordination is the key.

And, there's a little good news since last night. The above list of 8 is
now down to 5, as of about 30 minutes ago:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: eel > 2.14.0 is needed by package orca
Error: Missing Dependency: gnome-python2 >= 2.14.0 is needed by package
orca
Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package orca
Error: Missing Dependency: gnome-speech >= 0.3.10 is needed by package
orca
Error: Missing Dependency: gtk+-2.0 >= 2.8.16 is needed by package orca


For the record, I'm attempting to install using yum as follows:

yum --enablerepo=development upgrade ./orca-0.2.3-1.i386.rpm

This tells yum to look for dependencies in the Fedora development
repositories. I'm saying "upgrade" rather than "install" because I
already have orca-0.2.0 installed on this particular machine.
