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.
