Downloading DAViCal
Debian / Ubuntu
Debian Sid/Lenny & Ubuntu Lynx
AWL and DAViCal are in Debian Sid & Lenny and can be installed directly with apt-get.
Older Ubuntu & Debian releases
While older DAViCal packages are present in several releases of Ubuntu, you may want to consider installing a more recent version from:
