upgrading orca in oracle enterprise linux

Hi all,

Sorry if this is a duplicate of earlier questions, but I
haven't been able to locate any info on this.

I have been trying to find any notes on how to upgrade orca
for oracle enterprise linux.

OEL5 is based on rhel5, but with some oracle specific
tweaks.
The version of orca installed by default is orca-1.0.0-el5.

A couple of weeks ago I tried to compile orca 2.21 and had
issues with pyatspi which I could never get resolved.

Is there a specific list of packages I absolutely need to
compile and which order they should be compiled in?

Hi,
I would suggest that you get the stuff from Fedora, likely
the latest 
version.
There should be a rpm for atspi and all the needed
dependancies.  There 
should also be an rpm for orca itsellf.
I am a bit out-dated with the Redhat stuff, but the Rel
versions is fed by 
the tested Fedora stuff.
Regards, Willem

This is certainly woprth looking into. It may be that yum
will want to
install far too many packages. But, you should try enabling
the
development repository for Fedora and see. Do that and
issue:

yum --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=development upgrade orca

and see how much yum needs to pull in. If you're looking at
a handful of
packages, you're good to go.

I think it would mostly upgrade stuff and should at the end
of the day not 
install a lot of extra stuff.
The oracle servers these days normally have X on them
anyway.
As stated before, my Redhat and Oracle knowledge is a bit
dated, but I 
don't think it has changed that mutch in the meanwhile.

Agree with "should." But for various reasons,
including human error
specifying things like "requires" statements,
we've certainly seen
highly inappropriate dependencies being pulled in. Most
recently we've
seen this with development builds of xulrunner and firefox 3
from
development.
