Hans Nordhaug mentioned the Debian and FreeBSD redistributions of ArgoUML. I discovered JPackage distributes an ArgoUML rpm. I'm sure there are other distributions hiding. Here's where they are in terms of ArgoUML versions:
FreeBSD 0.22 http://www.freshports.org/devel/argouml/ Debian 0.19.6 http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/argouml JPackage rpm 0.17.5 http://www.jpackage.org/browser/rpm.php?jppversion=1.6&id=2090 FreeBSD gets a gold star for only distributing stable releases and for staying current from 0.12 all the way through 0.22 which they just incorporated a few weeks ago. The others seem to distribute in an ad hoc fashion (eg Jpackage: 17.1, 15.4, 14.3) and distribute develop releases as often as stable releases. Do we care? Should we encourage distribution of stable releases? Discourage distribution of unstable releases? Give up because it's too hard to affect any meaningful change? It's nice to have more people exposed to the tool, but not if they have a terrible first experience. The change in dependencies between 0.18.1 and 0.20 (MDR vs NSUML) may be part of the reason that some folks are stuck on older releases, but that's just a guess.
