Re: no speech out of gnopernicus except welcome

[Bill Haneman <bill haneman sun com>]

John:

You can try checking out the "jhbuild" package from GNOME cvs to help
you build the whole stack.  After making and installing jhbuild you will
need to edit ".jhbuildrc" in your home directory.

At the moment the most up-to-date and functional accessibility is from
HEAD, which is what you get from the jhbuild "gnome24" moduleset, but
there are occasional day-to-day build problems with that stack.  So
perhaps we should create a "gnomeAccessibilityAlpha" moduleset or
something similar, which pulls the stable gnome-2.2 modules wherever
possible and only pulls "latest-and-greatest" for accessibility
modules.  Once you've built the "default" target packages from jhbuild
you would build the "meta-gnome-accessibility" package, and you should
be done.

I can edit such a moduleset but I would need a volunteer to try it out
(my machines are too full to support yet another full build), any
takers?

regards,

Bill
