Re: [orca-list] Latest Orca git on Arch linux

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I'm using an Orca from git from about a week or so ago.  I use the
orca-git package that is now up in AUR so it pulls from strait master
in git; this is the gnome3 version.  I think at one time, it was
necessary to apply a newer version of at-spi2 but I'm pretty certain
I'm using whatever is in the Arch public repositories just now.  If
needs be, I can verify this a little later on.

I was about to update Orca from git this evening but ran into some
problems with a recent update to perl so automake isn't working on my
system right now.  Need to fix that first.
