Just a small update:

I packaged the 3.0 version of jodconverter, taken from [0]. This is
currently only availabe locally, i will try to check if everything works
as expected before i push it into the repo.

I am now also able to build natbraille-2.2rc1 against the new
jodconverter package. Natbraille seems to work, as far as i can see. (My
french is not very good, btw.)

There are another, probably newer versions on github, eg [1] which seems
to be more active concerning development, OTOH it features a different
package base name and also misses some classes. So i think it is ok to
use this version, because it it currently only used by natbraille.

I also contacted Vivien for the source of natbraille-soffice-1.0-.. jar
file, and we are getting closer.

Another issue is the saxon9* stuff from the /lib dir vs the saxonb libs
packages for debian - i found the patches in natbraille 2.0rc3 and will
incorporate them.

So just a small update.

Regards,
