It is indeed still the case. The existing unison package builds executables for 2.9.1, 2.10.2, and 2.13.16; I believe at the time most Linux distros included the first, the second was the upstream stable release, and the third was the upstream "beta". A simple way to update the unstable packaging would be just to _add_ what is needed to build 2.27.x , though it would also be good to move from lablgtk to lablgtk2. -- Alexander K.
