The problem seems to be that we don't agree on what "source" means.

If by "source" you mean the files obtained directly from the repo, then 
according to your standards both interval and stk have an issue...

This is just a clone of our main repo, which is at 
http://sourceforge.net/p/kriging/hg/ci/default/tree/.

But anyway: please never package stk directly from the repo. If a 
release hasn't been made, it means that the code is not ready to be 
released. Please use the latest public release.

And you can trust Oliver to be a very active package developper and 
maintainer : if he hasn't made a new release of the interval package, it 
means that it is not ready yet. Again, you'll be safer using the latest 
public release.
