Hello,

I am a Maxima developer and I am wondering about the problems reported in this thread and other threads. I use Ubuntu 9.04 - Jaunty Jackalope - to develop Maxima and will update the next time to the new version 9.10.

I build Maxima sometimes several times a day from the CVS repository using different Lisps like sbcl, clisp, ecl, cmucl (but never gcl on Ubuntu). gcl I use only on a Windows system. Furthermore, I build wxMaxima from the svn repository.

Next, I am wondering why the package manager of Ubuntu shows me the release Maxima 5.13. Now we have Maxima 5.19.2. The release 5.20 will come in December. The latest versions have a lot of bug fixes and a lot of things have been improved.

So, how can I help that the Ubuntu community gets a working and actual Maxima release?
