(Get the code!)
We have version 5.2 now from upstream.
This is a nightmare, its a 25 MB tarball which contains many libraries already in the archive (amongst them: blt, tcl, tk, tkimg, tktable, zlib), some of these in binary format, at least another modified from source (this was replaced in Debian by a previous fortran version), its own build system which is a (worse) homemade version of a complete autotools set.
The package has been orphaned in Debian since February 2008, and I have serious doubts that, due to its nature, it will be adopted in the near future.
My preference would be to wait until Intrepid alpha 6 release (currently scheduled for September 18th) and if there is no update from Debian just remove the obsolete source and binaries from the archive.
