Bug 153769 – request for orca (new package)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description William Hubbs 2006-11-01 17:25:11 UTC]

I am intrested in seeing Orca on gentoo.

From the orca web site:

"Orca is a flexible, extensible, and powerful assistive technology for people
with visual impairments. Using various combinations of speech synthesis,
braille, and magnification, Orca helps provide access to applications and toolkits that
support the AT-SPI (e.g., the GNOME desktop)."

I know nothing about gnome myself, so would anyone in the gnome-accessibility group be willing to take a look at getting this into portage?

I've just committed app-accessibility/orca-1.0.0. Any feedback is appreciated :).

Thanks.

I wonder if the amd64 keyword is omitted on purpose from the orca ebuild?

New ebuilds are normally committed with keywords that correspond to the systems where the committer could test the package.

If you want to see new keywords in a specific ebuild, please file bugs so the arch teams can test and add them.

Well, it doesn't compile (configure cannot find python module bonobo)...
