NeuroDebian offers backported binary packages for recent Ubuntu releases
- whenever possible. However, since Ubuntu is a rather thin shell around Debian
- it is more efficient to spend time packaging for Debian. After the appearance
- of new packages in Debian, Ubuntu typically synchronizes them quickly and
- they become available in the *Ubuntu universe* -- a repository of Debian
- packages rebuilt for a particular Ubuntu release. We are not constantly
- rebuilding of all available NeuroDebian packages for new Ubuntu
- releases. Therefore, you might find some packages only being available
- for older Ubuntu releases -- until the point when a new package version is
- made and gets built for all currently supported releases.
