Updating orca and brltty in ubuntu gutsy

2007-10-31 Thread Sauro Cesaretti
Hi everyone,

I've just installed ubuntu 7.10 yesterday and I saw that it is still using
brltty 3.7.
And orca is not updated as well.
I tried to install brltty from the source when gutsy was still in beta and
it seems that the driver didn't work.
Could I update these software from the source?
Have you tried to do that?
Should I follow a particular procedure?

thank you in advance
best regards, Sauro

Ttsynth/Ibmtts will no longer work, as of Ubuntu hardy 8.04.

Greetings all.
I am writing to inform you all, that as of Ubuntu Hardy 8.04, to be released in 
April next year, the 
Ttsynth/Ibmtts speech synthesizer will no longer work, due to a library that it 
depends on, having been removed from 
the Ubuntu archives. This library was a left over piece from the gcc 2.95 and 
glibc 2.2 toolchain, that was kept in 
ubuntu for compatibility reasons. It is actually a wonder that it has stayed 
around this long.

I appreciate the fact that there are many of you out there that use this synth 
daily, however this decision was out 
of my hands, and it is a matter for the vendors to sort out. I would encourage 
users of this synth to contact the 
vendor from which you purchased your license, to ask them for a proper 
resolution to this issue. The library that 
ttsynth/ibmtts currently depends on is libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2, which is the 
library that was removed from Ubuntu 
hardy.

Thanks in advance for your understanding.
