Re: [orca-list] What is latest Orca/arch orca-git question

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
There were no commits made to the orca master branch during last week 
and a few days.
For you reference this is the latest commit:
commit 8ce18bd0ff2d906f1f322c51e23b2c40a8ce92a6
Author: Kalev Lember <kalevlember gmail com>
Date:   Fri Sep 26 17:13:26 2014 +0200

    Fix desktop file keywords in Slovenian translation

    It's a string list and must be terminated with a semicolon.

So again I suspect all is good and whatever you are using to rebuild the 
orca-git package is fine. Either you are manually calling
makeps -s
or using packar yaurd or whatewer then you should get the result.

Greetings

Peter
