Hi, I wanted to propose
a topic that has been in debate for
the -rushed- release of Snap,
the new packages system by Canonical
in Ubuntu 16.04. https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/04/13/snaps-for-classic-ubuntu/
Moreover,
Flatpak (aka xdg-app) is
the distribution package system closer to
becoming a standard in gnu/linux
because of its performance and independently
of the operating system for proper operation.
http://flatpak.org/
Both systems are functional
but are now awaiting complementary technologies such as
Wayland/MIR, however, Flatpak
is available in most distributions (Ubuntu
included).
There are several applications packaged as Flatpack
and even some LibreOffice developers
have long been testing this system to distribute its
software

I think it would be
very good idea to consider PSPP
developers distribute as a Flatpak package
officially, as it
would be available in most distributions
with its latest updates.
What do you think?
If a PSPP developer
has read this what do you think
about that?
