I find the recent improvements in the documentation of Axiom of paramount
importance in trying to understand this complex system. In this
regards, I
have just read about the new )describe command and found it quite
interesting.
Anyways, I have found in another of your posts a link to a Debian
binary for
the November 2009 version. I have downloaded it already but not
installed yet.
Hopefully it will work in Debian Etch. Will be there an Ubuntu binary
for this
(or latter) version? (if it were an issue of priorities, I would
prefer it to
an updated download page).
Of course, it would be wonderful if the maintainer of the Axiom
package in
Debian and Ubuntu distributions could keep it updated, ideally in sync
with the 2-month (or whatever) period source releases. See e.g.:
http://packages.debian.org/etch/math/axiom
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/math/axiom
This package seems stuck because of bugs and other issues.

I did not create them. I will put it on the list to do.
You would be amazed how little time there is between releases
if you do them every 2 months.
The effort has been mostly removing boot and converging the
interpreter into book volume 5. This doesn't change the user
functionality (although I've introduced )debug and )describe).
From my point of view the effort is continuous but I have
committed to time-boxed Axiom releases every 2 months.
There is a long thread (pre-fork) about the importance of doing
time-boxed releases every 2 months.
