orca-0.2.4, released yesterday, has even later stuff.  :-)

I'm going to hazard a guess that one needs to create a spec file
specific for each platform and the one we provide is only a sample to
draw from.  I'm not really sure, though.  But, if you actually manage
get one working, we can make your file for Fedora be the sample as long
as it lists the appropriate dependencies.

Darn.  I don't have a Fedora machine to check how they've organized
their packages.  :-(  Asking on their list seems like a good thing to
do, though.

Thanks for your energy on this!
