[Hamara-devel] Switching back to Ubiquity as the default Installer

[Raju DV]

Hi all,

While I was doing my remaining work to port Calamares to Hamara, Vik
asked me to verify whether Calamares supports accessibility standards,
in particular the screen reading By Orca.

I then tried Installing Hamara with Orca and it worked for ubiquity.
again I tried Installing Tanglu Linux with Calamares Installer using
Orca. Orca was not being able to read anything on the Installer window.

After doing these tests I also reported a bug to the calamare
https://calamares.io/bugs/browse/CAL-265

So as per our discussion we will now be focusing only on porting
Ubiquity to Hamara debian based release.

Right now I am working on building Ubiquity on a Debian Stretch machine.

Building Ubiquity requires building of a lot of dependent packages as well.
The list is here under the binary packages section
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/wily/+source/ubiquity

Now I will be working up on packaging all these dependent packages and
build Ubiquity on my stretch machine.
