Re: [orca-list] upgrading orca in oracle enterprise linux

Janina and willem,

I tried to use the fedora development repository, but got a lot of errors about missing dependencies when I 
ran:

yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=development upgrade yum

The log of what happened is very large, so I don't want to try to post it to the list, but here is a snippet:

Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package rhnlib
Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-devel
Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package up2date
Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package python-urlgrabber
Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package rhel-instnum
Error: Missing Dependency: python-optik is needed by package up2date
Error: Missing Dependency: libcrypto.so.6 is needed by package ricci
Error: Missing Dependency: libssl.so.6 is needed by package cluster-snmp
Error: Missing Dependency: libcrypto.so.6 is needed by package modcluster
Error: Missing Dependency: libssl.so.6 is needed by package modcluster
Error: Missing Dependency: libcrypto.so.6 is needed by package cluster-cim

There are over 100 lines like these.

Agree with "should." But for various reasons, including human error
specifying things like "requires" statements, we've certainly seen
highly inappropriate dependencies being pulled in. Most recently we've
seen this with development builds of xulrunner and firefox 3 from
development.

I think it would mostly upgrade stuff and should at the end of the day not
install a lot of extra stuff.
The oracle servers these days normally have X on them anyway.
As stated before, my Redhat and Oracle knowledge is a bit dated, but I
don't think it has changed that mutch in the meanwhile.

This is certainly woprth looking into. It may be that yum will want to
install far too many packages. But, you should try enabling the
development repository for Fedora and see. Do that and issue:

yum --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=development upgrade orca

and see how much yum needs to pull in. If you're looking at a handful of
packages, you're good to go.

Hi,
I would suggest that you get the stuff from Fedora, likely the latest
version.
There should be a rpm for atspi and all the needed dependancies.  There
should also be an rpm for orca itsellf.
I am a bit out-dated with the Redhat stuff, but the Rel versions is fed by
the tested Fedora stuff.

Hi all,

Sorry if this is a duplicate of earlier questions, but I haven't been able to locate any info on this.

I have been trying to find any notes on how to upgrade orca for oracle enterprise linux.

OEL5 is based on rhel5, but with some oracle specific tweaks.
The version of orca installed by default is orca-1.0.0-el5.

A couple of weeks ago I tried to compile orca 2.21 and had issues with pyatspi which I could never 
get resolved.

Is there a specific list of packages I absolutely need to compile and which order they should be 
compiled in?
