Re: [orca-list] How often should atk and at-spi be updated?

Hi James:

As a novice, your best path is to rely upon the upgrade mechanisms provided by your operating system 
distribution.  They are connected to all the release announcements for GNOME.  When a release is made, the 
distribution will build/package the needed items and you will be offered them as an upgrade through your 
distribution's upgrade mechanism.  Ubuntu is also generally good about getting things to you very quickly.
