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

[Alejandro Leiva <aleiva emergya com>]

Steve,

Brltty added at-spi2 support for the screen driver from BRLTTY 4.2 release.

Anyway, orca don't use it because orca implements its own braille monitor.

in example, the ubuntu 11.04 dependency list of brltty package didn't 
use that dependency.

brltty
  Depends: libbrlapi0.5
  Depends: libc6
  Depends: libgpm2
  Depends: libicu44
  Depends: libncursesw5
  Depends: libtinfo5
  Depends: initramfs-tools
  Depends: lsb-base
  Suggests: brltty-speechd
  Suggests: brltty-x11
  Suggests: console-braille
  Breaks: udev
  Replaces: <libbrlapi1>

Best Regards,
