Re: [orca-list] Debian and Orca

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

So, in a nutshell, you can't get recent Orca in Debian because all the
python 3 work hasn't been ported to it and updating at-spi will break a11y
for gnome-shell as it is currently implemented in Debian.  I am not sure I
understand why the dependencies aren't in place if Debian has a dedicated
accessibility team that consists of several people reputed to be excellent
developers.  I also don't understand why some of the work done by
derivitives like Ubuntu can't be leveraged in the upstream distro.
Undoubtedly, there will be a need for some modification of it to fit in with
Debian's own packaging conventions but, I would imagine a good deal of work
and time can be saved this way.  It seems like there is a lot of reinvention
of the wheel going on.

        Hi, folks,
        Does anyone know of a repository for Debian
          with a version of Orca newer than 3.4.2?  I see that a lot of
          the Gnome 3.10 packages have made it to Jesse but Orca is
          stuck way back at 3.4 on there.  

One more link from debian-accessibility list missing in this discussion. I
find this post (by Jason) especially informative:
