Re: [orca-list] lag with Orca master

Hi Bittukumar.

The short answer is you type "git pull" in the top-level source
directory. Then build it like you did before. If this makes sense, feel
free to stop reading. :)

I'm afraid I'm confused by a couple of things you said. In particular,
in your opening message you said "since I have started using Orca
master, I have seen lag in places like launching application menu." From
your words, I took it to mean you were using Orca master. But just now
you said "I have another question that how to pull Orca master." So if
you'll forgive my asking you a silly question, where did you get "Orca
master" from originally?

Assuming you got it by cloning it from GNOME's git repository, as I
stated above, you should just do "git pull" in the top level source
directory and then build it like you did before. If you got it along
with your distro (e.g. Ubuntu), are you sure you are using Orca master?
Most distros only provide stable releases of Orca in the stable version
of their distro, and unstable releases of Orca in the unstable version
of their distro. Arch is an exception to this rule. I don't think Ubuntu is.

You can check the version of Orca you are using by doing "orca -v" in a
terminal. When I do this using Orca master, I currently get "3.29.4pre."
What do you get?
