Re: [orca-list] Important heads-up for users of master: cruft removal time



I don't think we've had to beware of such strategies for some time,
allow me to remind those who use package builds like in Arch Linux,
you won't need to uninstall anything.  When you "makepkg" the orca-git
package from AUR, it will replace all the system wide orca files and
modules for you.

Just clarifying things a bit.

Frankly, I hadn't realized that the help system was webkit based;
guess I haven't needed help lately.:)

Hey guys.

Given that the Gecko-based Yelp 2 is long gone, that script has just
been removed from Orca master. (It remains in the orca-xdesktop
branch.) After I got rid of that old script, I took a look at Yelp 3
and Epiphany. What I discovered is that, unlike their quirky
Gecko-based counterparts, these WebKitGtk-based apps behave so
nicely and consistently that we really don't need separate scripts
for them. So this functionality is now handled at the toolkit level
-- something which should not only simplify Orca's code further, but
should also make it more likely that other WebKitGtk apps will
either JustWork(tm) with Orca or can be made to work with very
little additional effort. Yay! :)

As for why this is important for you to know: If you are using Orca
from master, you will want to do a make uninstall *before* pulling
and building Orca from master. Otherwise you may find unexpected
side-effects resulting from the cruft left behind.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Take care.
