The configure option in gnome-orca is only used to tell the build system if the louis orca C module should be built or not. The Python part of orca is written in a way that the louis module import is wrapped in a try/except block to dynamically detect if the module is present or not. This is just like it was done for brlapi support in orca. It didn't think gnome-orca-louis should be a soft dependency, it could rather be installed by default whenever a user installs gnome-orca, it would just be nice to split it out into its own package to avoid wasting quite a bit of archive space. But this is all academic, since we dont have liblouis yet. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/>
