Re: Small fix in Orca packaging



Hi,

Thanks for this patch, it's indeed cleaner than my solution. But Metacity seems to be still maintained, isn't it? I see that there is a 3.12 release in testing. What's the situation? I thought it was obsolete.

If Metacity is not used anymore in Debian usefully, we can patch gnome-orca package. If it is, as soon as I can commit, I'll apply an upload to introduce a mate-orca package with this patch, and maybe other mappings.

Regards,

Hi,

Given that MATE can install without orca, I thought it was easier if
Orca could ship this. But indeed, we could create a mate-orca sackage.
But does it worth for such little difference? I can help to do it,
anyway if you tell me it's really the best solution. What's the
process to introduce such package (beyond making the package, I mean,
administratively speaking)?


Regards,
I would add it as one more binary package to the MATE desktop
environment meta package
Do what you will. I admittedly know absolutely nothing about package
maintainership nor of Debian. But for what it's worth: I think what you
might wish to consider instead of a symbolic link as your temporary
"fix" is script mapping -- done in the one and only Orca package Debian
maintains. See this patch [1] which I already committed to Orca master
because a different downstream pointed out upstream that marco, at least
at the moment, is pretty much still metacity but calling itself
something else. The solution is verified already by that downstream
reporter [2].
