I would like to try out Dabo, but I don't see it in the Ubuntu 
repositories and I would like to avoid using svn if I can.  I didn't 
subscribe to the mailing list but I did read the archives and saw a 
thread about making a deb package.  It seems to have ended in April 
without a clear resolution.

So is there a package available so I can use the Ubuntu package manager 
to install it?

Thanks,  Jim
