In this particular case, what happens is that Orca jumped from 1.0 to |
7 |
2.17, to match the GNOME framework version numbers. One convention used |
8 |
in GNOME version numbers is that releases with an odd minor version |
9 |
(e.g. 2.13 2.15 2.17 etc) are development releases, and even minor |
10 |
versions indicate stable releases. |

|
12 |
Gentoo's GNOME herd usually don't add development releases to the tree; |
13 |
if you do want to use them though, you may find ebuilds for those in the |
14 |
GNOME overlay (see http://overlays.gentoo.org/). |

GNOME 2.18 will be released soon, and we'll add a new ebuild for Orca |
17 |
then, which is very much due since Orca 1.0 is fairly buggy :). |

Thanks for the feedback, and please don't hesitate to contact us if you |
20 |
have any suggestions or comments to improve the state of accessibility |
21 |
packages in GNOME or Gentoo in general. |
