Note: This table is updated by hand and might be out of date.  If you desperately want to use a newer version of a package, it's a good idea to check whether the distribution has been updated with the new version.

The following Linux distributions are not listed because they have already reached their end-of-support date, or will reach their end-of-support date too soon for us to accommodate them.
* Fedora 16 and earlier
* Ubuntu 11.10 and earlier
