Re: [orca-list] Announcing Orca v2.31.2

Is it safe to install this orca through checkinstall?
It creates deb packages from sources. I don't want to mess up my current installation. How do you for example update orca from standard ubuntu build to this later release? It would be great to get this working, but I'm a little afraid.

* What is Orca?
===============

Orca is a free, open source, flexible, and extensible screen reader
that provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable
combinations of speech, braille, and/or magnification. Orca development
was led by the Sun Microsystems, Inc., Accessibility Program Office with
generous contributions from the Mozilla Foundation and Corporation.
Orca is currently a community project driven by volunteers.
