HI Steve,

I have tried to get updated versions into the Debian and Ubuntu 
repositories for the last to releases, to no avail.

Savannah is a well trusted site, and note also that there is a signed 
file with the tarball that I've uploaded.  If you trust me, then you 
trust that which I've uploaded, once you've verified the signature 
matches.  If you don't trust me, it won't be any better than what 
Debian/Ubuntu distribute, since they get it from me.

That said, once one has downloaded the tarball, the process is quite 
standard:

sudo -i
cd /usr/local/src
tar xcvf xlog-<version>.tar.gz
cd xlog-<version>
Read the INSTALL file for detailed instructions.
./configure
make
make install

Regarding a "modern context logger" for Linux, perhaps cqrlog would 
better meet that need.

73,

Andy
