Some people choose not to install the X window system at all, e.g., for servers, in which case it wouldn't be appropriate to install X, Gnome and Orca just because an accessible installation procedure is used. Thus the situation is complicated by the fact that Debian is installed on everything from mobile phones to servers. > The other issue > I'm having is I'm trying to install Orca and I can't find it to > install.

I have the latest development version packaged and running locally, and I expect official Debian packages to be available whenever our very busy Debian developers with numerous other commitments find the time to make the necessary changes and upload the latest version. Note that the transition involves a move to AT-SPI 2, a rewrite of the accessibility infrastructure - it's not just an issue with Orca. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-accessibility-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
