I've been maintaining debian packages of xotcl for some time now and
thought it might be useful to mention that on this list too.
Xotcl 0.85.2 is currently in debian's "testing" distribution and 0.85.3
is in "unstable". If you use debian, please test the packages and give
me feedback if you find that something doesn't work.
If you want the packages for debian stable ("potato"), drop me a line.
