Re: [orca-list] Announcing Orca v3.7.4

[Thomas Ward <thomasward1978 gmail com>]

Hi Krishnakant,

Quick answer is you don't. Ubuntu 12.04 is too far out of date to run
Orca 3.7.4. Basically, if you want it we are talking about compiling
Gnome 3.6, possibly Gnome 3.7, upgrading to Python 3, and building all
the Python dependencies Orca needs. If you want bleeding edge builds
of Orca pick a different distribution like Arch which has a rolling
release for Gnome etc which is better for development and bleeding
edge testing of Gnome. Ubuntu while decent for a stable day to day
distribution is not great for bleeding edge testing of Gnome and Orca
without doing a lot of custom compiling and installing everything
yourself.

Cheers!
