Re: [orca-list] at-spi and at-spi2 and arch linux

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I don't know why the older at-spi is still being used.  I see that
several packages still depend on it and that causes us to have to keep
things like gconf, bonobo, and other pre-gonome3 stuff.  Actually,
brltty is built with a depends on at-spi where Orca depends on
at-spi2-atk and orca-git depends on at-spi2-core.  I probably need to
change the orca-git PKGBUILD in AUR.  Python dependencies are a real
pain to set correctly.  I haven't been having any problems with Orca
but then I don't have a braille display so I may be missing out of the
fun <smile>.

I think brltty should be built to use at-spi2 instead of the older
one.  not sure if brltty can handle a change like that.
