well, I hope it is available late this year at least with edgy?

That's a brillient idea, if some how I get my ubuntu desktop talking
(and please all wish for my luck) I will be the first person to do a
deb package for java access bridge.
by the way I have a jdk-1.5.0.08.bin downloaded from the java.sun.com
web site.  can I use that to install a jdk?  or there is some thing
else I should get?

is there at least a package for gnome-devel package available?
by the way I would like to know the url for the univerce reposetory?

is there a link to download the nightly deb packages?  or is there
source code only for such task?
well, I am going to install dapper again tomorrow since I believe that
I have changed things a lot.
so it is a complete mess right now.
by the way I got a few python packages including python-support (I
can't recall the name exactly) and python devel along with the main
python package.
can any one list some more which I will need for getting orca running?
it turns out that on ubuntu 6.06.1 python was not there by default
and so I can't install orca?
I am not interested in development right now so please at least
provide me the names of those python deb packages that I will need to
runn orca.
thanking all,
