Re: [orca-list] Gnome on Debian - Latest Version

You could also try Arch linux. Its up to date and a rolling release. So you would update the machine with one command through pacman. You have to do some configurations so its not for those who want a distro that just works. Fedora works good as well. there is a way to update the entire system say for example from fedora10 to fedora11. I'm not sure how well it works though as I'm currently using arch linux.

Will,

Can you dual boot open solaris like you can with linux using grub or
lilo?

I think there were issues about sound card compatibility too.  I use a
Creative Labs SB Live card and I thought I heard OpenSolaris didn't
work with that one.

That's really too bad too.  I gave up on dropline gnome last year
because they lagged so far behind.  I've been a slackware for many
years and generally loved it for its basic simplicity and ease at
getting under the hood so to speak.  So I went and tried Debian.  I
like its package management and dependency tracking and all but this
gnome thing really disappointments me.  You would think that going
unstable would get you the supposed latest versions but alas they are
sitting on what is now an older version of gnome.  I understand a lot
of our accessibility enhancements depend on having the latest gnome
version and Debian package managers who don't like 2.24 are holding
Deb users back in this regard.  I'm not in a mood to do yet another
re-install of linux to switch to Solarus or Ubuntu.  I would just hope
they get a move on with Debian and get gnome up to date.

Good morning Steve,

I used to have an article written by the debian gnome package manager
eplaining why they haven't included 2.24 in their repositories, but at
the moment I can't find it.

Suffice it to say that although some 2.24 packages are in experimental,
gnome-core is not and may not be for some time.  It has something to do
with the debian-gnome folks not liking some of the things that gnome 2.24
does with session management.  You could try building gnome 2.24
yourself, but that seems like an aweful lot of work that is certainly
going to be filled with a great deal of frustration.

HTH,
Everett

I'm doing that and have Orca-2.24.1, I believe, but the rest of gnome
is still at 2.22.whatever.  That's the part I want to improve.

Good evening Steve,

I bbelieve that I was using Cid and pulled down Orca from
experimental
with no problems.

Do any Debian users know if/when any levels of Debian will go to
gnome
later than 2.22.X? I just looked in the Packages listing for
unstable
and it still shows 2.22.5 or something.  It seems like Deb is
slipping
behind the other distros here.  Many other distros have been using
2.24 for months now.  Just wondering.  I understand going to 2.24 of
gnome may clear up some of the accessibility issues I'm having.  I
suppose I could try and pull gnome from experimental? Any ideas on
when Lenny will becom stable? I thought I heard that when that does
that the other stuff can start moving again.
