Hello Dr. Gordon
Thank you for maintaining Datamash. It's a helpful tool for any researcher or programmer.
I have a question; and sorry that I am ignorant of how package management works. My question is this: When will the current version of Datamash (v 1.3) become available on the Synaptic Package manager for Linux? At the moment, I'm only seeing v1.0.7-1 on Synaptic. Is that correct?
Fortunately, I was able to download the source code for v 1.3 from the gnu site at
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/datamash/ and compile it, since this version has important features I use that are absent in 1.0.7
However, it would be helpful if binaries for 1.3 would be available. I note that binaries for v 1.2 are available on the Gnu site (
https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/datamash/ ), which is great! Is there a date where we can expect binaries for 1.3 to be available either on the Gnu site, OR on Synaptic package manager?
Again, apologies if I have misunderstood something - I am simply an end user of Datamash and I have a limited understanding of how package management works. Please feel free to correct me if I have misunderstood anything.
Thank you again for maintaining Datamash.
Sincerely,
Vera Chellgren
