Just a quick notice to let you know ahead of time that I've just uploaded gnome-orca 2.22.0-1 to sid which will most probably be available through the mirrors from tomorrow morning (thursday) on.
Thanks to Mario for the excellent work on the Debian package. The package installed and ran on my system without any problems. The difficulties I encountered while initially setting up Orca are still present, however. If the following doesn't turn out to be a Debian-specific issue or something wrong with the state of the packages on my system, I'll gladly file an Orca bug report. To describe the problem briefly, if I remove my ~/.orca directory to start the configuration process from the beginning, run startx and then from a separate virtual console run DISPLAY=:0 orca -t which I am told is supposed to work, I get a lengthy Python backtrace from gnome-speech. Running it with orca --disable=speech doesn't work either. However, under X I can type alt-F2 orca --disable=speech <cr> and get into the Orca preferences with the braille display. Running orca (without --disable=speech) generates backtraces as well, which I can't read, but I'm reasonably sure they are present because if I put orca in my ~/.xsession file I get the back traces on the console and the X server shuts down. Attached to this message is a session log of my latest test, which shows the backtraces. I have Orca, Gnome-speech, eSpeak and Festival installed as well as BRLTTY. Note: I've included orca-list in the CC field of this message, as this may or may not be a Debian-specific problem. If anyone wants to complain about my cross-posting, please consider that I thought about it carefully before doing so. You're still entitled to complain though if you really want to.
