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

[Peter VÃgner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
I would take PKGBUILD files from existing packages as a base and modify 
it so it will compile newer versions. I think this part is clear to me.
However now I am still curious whether this is a lot of work and what 
packages do I need to tweak PKBUILD scripts for, build and install this way.
Python3 is already in one of the repos I think.
If I take py-atspi and orca PKBUILD scripts will I be able to pull other 
dependencies automatically or is there more into it?
Or if this is doable perhaps we can upload git versions of these 
packages into AUR.
Preferrably I would like to build the packages so I can go back or do 
whatever if something goes wrong. I have found this packaging system 
really avesome to use.

Greetings

Peter
