Re: [orca-list] Complements on Latest Master Build

Sending your reply back to the list; otherwise, noone else would have
received your question.  Please people, do a list reply instead of the
original sender.  Remember that orca list defaults the reply-to to be
the original sender and not the list.

It depends on the distro.  I can only answer to the Arch Linux distro
and in there, you would have to build new packages for the
applications you want to replace from a master build.  We have a
package in the Arch User Repository (AUR) called orca-git which does
exactly this.  Plus you can do this with other specific packages like
gtk+, atspi2, etc.  the more packages involved, the more complex
things become though.  Gnome itself is a group of over 200
applications so I personally wouldn't be interested in rebuilding
every single package in that meta group.  But it can be done if
someone really wanted to do it.
