How to get CHEVIE] also says to download the official GAP3 release and
doesn't talk about the "repackaged" version.
Neither this nor the above is up-to-date. Afaik, Jean Michel is the only
person still actively developing *chevie* and his website is the only
place where these new versions can be found. E.g., I found a small bug in
chevie last month (so years after the release of {{{gap3r4p4}}}) through
my Sage usage -- Jean fixed it within a few hours and posted the new
version on his website.
Using any other version of gap3 and chevie will result in running into old
mistakes that will slow down my understanding of research problems I
compute!
