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:

deb http://debian.mcmillan.net.nz/debian lenny awm

These packages will work with earlier versions of Debian & Ubuntu as long as versions of PostgreSQL (8.1 or later, 8.4 preferred) & PHP (5.1 or later, 5.3 preferred) are used.

Gentoo
An ebuild should be available in due course, within the 'sunrise' overlay.
