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

Greetings!  Concerning updating Fedora, I've done it using yum from version
8 to 9 and from 9 to 10.

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.

If it helps, the lead developers of Orca work primarily on 
OpenSolaris.  ;-)

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.
