I've been following this, and it seems like the gnome 2.4 transition
started Tuesday if I understand correctly.
They already uploaded a few packages, and they have 2.4 including most
of the a11y stuff at an unofficial repository.
http://people.debian.org/~fpeters/gnome2.4
The latest gnopernicus itself isn't there, but all the stuff it needs
seems to be. Gnome-speech 0.2.7 atk 1.4, at-spi 1.3.7 etc.
I really hope these packages make it in.
I was going to wait until sarge release to try installing again, but if
the gnome a11y stuff gets updated I might try sooner.
If we could get speakup and emacspeak 18.0 in there in time as well this
sarge would be very up to date with accessibility.
As a matter of fact, I think as soon as they fix the daily isos I'll try
again so I can test that speakup kernel for you.
