The stable/LTS (recommended) distributions of Debian and Ubuntu contain gtimelog 0.11, which according to the releases page of this repository is the most recent release.

As the popularity of a piece software among GNU/Linux users often depends on whether or not said software is included (and up-to-date) in their distribution's repository, I propose to update the gtimelog website to reflect this fact.

Debian and Ubuntu packages are no longer out of date

Additionally, I think it's wiser to recommend the official repositories first, then refer to pip.

Yes, but it's 0.11.0, with known bugs that were fixed in newer releases. Even eoan only has 0.11.2. (0.11.3 was released to PyPI in April.)

I agree that pip does not have the best user experience. Or the PPA (especially given that it's outdated too, I need to automate so many things ....). My best hopes for user-friendliness and a non-outdated version is a flatpak on flathub, which is slowly coming along (#106).

I keep forgetting that GitHub releases exist. I wonder if there's a way to automate updating them when I make new releases on PyPI? I should at least add an echo Go and create a GitHub release, you absent-minded numpty reminder to the Makefile for the release rule.

Our Travis.yml at https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup is perhaps not the nicest one but it does the job and you can ask me if you need help.
