We invite all users of Fedora Core 6 (FC6) to obtain current builds of Orca from our RPM repository at the Speakup Modified Fedora Distribution site. You can retrieve both source and binary rpm packages via ftp, http, or rsync. But the best way to keep your Orca updated is to use yum. To use yum with the Speakup Modified Fedora rpm package repository, you must first configure your system to access our repository. You will need do this only once. Become root on your FC6 system and issue the following command: rpm -iv http://SpeakupModified.Org/speakupmodified-release.rpm Thereafter, to update Orca, become root and issue this command: yum upgrade orca We have resumed building and publishing Orca rpms because the Orca rpms being built by Red Hat now require Python 2.5, and that imposes too many upgrade problems for most users at this time. The Red Hat Orca builds are part of development work aimed at the forthcoming release of Fedora Core 7 which will use Python 2.5. However, most users today will, we believe, prefer to stay with current Fedora releases which will continue to use Python 2.4 until FC7 is actually released sometime in mid 2007. Therefore, our Orca rpms will be built with Python 2.4 in order to keep the task of upgrading Orca simple and straight forward. -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.595.7777 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://CapitalAccessibility.Com Marketing the Owasys 22C talking screenless cell phone in the U.S. and Canada--Go to http://ScreenlessPhone.Com to learn more.
