Re: [orca-list] Updating Orca

Hi Christopher.

Regarding the correct repo, it's listed in the wiki. Here's the wiki:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca. And to save you a trip, here's the
repo: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca.

OK, I have a very good  guide with both text, and an audio walkthrough
on updating Orca. You'll find it in the blog area of:


http://www.christophergilland.com/linux


I hope the guides up there help. Some of them are ever ever so slightly
outdated, but not by much. Definitely not enough to make anything go
boom. That's for sure.


In fact, you wanna know something funny? Every time I go to update Orca
on any newly installed system, I have to consult my own website there,
as I don't remember the git clone URL off hand to do so.


Plus, from what I'm told, I'm not using the correct git repository. One
person tells me I am, but, I am told by more I'm not. So, if someone can
get! me the correct URL to git clone, I'll edit that post with the
correct information.


That site isn't going anywhere, and I update it with new tips and tricks
quite regularly, so, check back often.


Chris.

Well I just ran into a repo could not be verified error on a fresh
system.....so that could be one thing, it threw out an error that it
couldn't verify the authenticity even though I had the correct link.

I don't understand what the difficulty with installing Orca is, but
you can always wait until the latest version hits your distro.

Thanks.

    Hi,
    is there an easy way to get a binary for latest orca instead of
    installing orca in this violent way?
    Greetings,

    Hello,

    yes, you can clone the git repo and run the autogen, make, make
    install.

    As for updating Mate, I don't recommend it. it seems like every
    time I have updated, after reboot I get a non-speaking computer.
    My computer will go into text mode, unless I select a prior
    version of the kernel. Terrible, annoying, but that is my
    experience. So you can update, so long as you aren't updating
    the kernel or trying to update to a new version. If you do, it
    is best to probably just do a reinstall.

    thanks.

        Hi folks


        I would like to update Orca, or at least learn *how* to do
        it. Am i
        correct in thinking that I need to clone the Git repo for
        Orca and follw
        any instructions that might be found in the README file?


        Also, I am running Ubuntu Mate which is I think built on top
        an earlier
        version of GNOME. Is there a way of updating Mate or is it not
        recommended to update Orca to anything other  than the
        shipped version
        for a relative novice?

        Thanks

        Best wishes

        James
