At this dev setp on Debian, I think you can upload in sid safely. First
people will test, I personally will do pinning. Secondly, even if you
dont lock and it goes to testing, I think it will not be a problem as we
are far from a freeze and future uploads are possible.

Personally I would like to test it in testing, to test effects in the
future Debian. It often works and enable to see first bugs which are not
critical in general.

It can me updated safely, especially if gnome-orca is newer. It would be
boring having an Orca older ghan gnome, but no problem in this sense.
All the less as gnome-orca can be used with MATE and not necessarily
with Gnome desktop.

Hi all,


Hi Paul


Two questions:
- I don't know well how to test gnome-orca myself, shall I upload to
experimental first, such that people on this least can test first? Or
can people test in unstable well enough such that we can block migration
to testing in time if necessary?


If you're not sure you could upload to Experimental first and after that 
we could test before to publish to Unstable.



- The documentation says that gnome-orca goes hand in hand with the same
version of Gnome. In Debian that is currently 3.22, does anybody believe
that to be an issue, or can gnome-orca in principle always be updated to
the latest version?


I use Orca 3.24 from Git on Debian Jessie since the release so it 
couldn't be an issue if not all GNOME packages are updated.


Best regards and thank you for your work :)!

Two questions:
- I don't know well how to test gnome-orca myself, shall I upload to
experimental first, such that people on this least can test first? Or
can people test in unstable well enough such that we can block migration
to testing in time if necessary?
- The documentation says that gnome-orca goes hand in hand with the same
version of Gnome. In Debian that is currently 3.22, does anybody believe
that to be an issue, or can gnome-orca in principle always be updated to

If nobody beats me to it, I'll probably do this within a couple of weeks.

Hi,


Actually I think he will not do the work for various reasons personal we
saw on the irc. And now the dev process is active again, could someone
handle this travial task? I could do, but anyway would need some review
for upload. And I think ti worth testing the latest Orca as soos an
possible, all the more as MATE 1.18 is about releasing.


I will have a look on edbrowse to update it as reported few time ago.



Thanks


Best regards

Please fetch the latest sources using e.g. debcheckout. If you have something
ready, just attach it to your email.

If you haven't packaged something before, I can recommend joining
#debian-mentors on IRC (irc.oftc.net), people are generally very helpful. You
can also chat with us in #debian-a11y on the same network.

Good luck on getting started!
Cheers
Sebastian

Indeed.  It should be quite trivial.  People will probably be interested
to have it in experimental anyway, so it will be useful.

Hi,

I think it's a good point to begin packaging, indeed. And given that
Debian is working on stable, no hurry, you've time to learn, propose
patch, be fixed, etc. So I think it's a good idea.

If noone replies differently, I think you can start this way this week.
I'll try helping you for basics.
