Singular in Ubuntu repo

Singular in Ubuntu repo

vinay · Tue Sep 27, 2011 1:15 pm

Recently I noticed that the Singular version in the Ubuntu repositories is very old (3-0-4, November 2007), whereas the latest stable version available on Singular website is 3-1-3. Can something be done about it? Who maintains the versions in Ubuntu repos? Is there any other way to have updated Singular (to install using deb's).
