Hi all,

I have done a small audit of bullet in a number of popular GNU Linux
distros for which bullet version is provided in repositories.

Short Term Support distros...

Fedora 19: 2.81
Fedora 20: 2.81
Ubuntu 13.10: 2.81

Long term support distros >=3D 5 years...

Debian 7.x (in backports): 2.82
RHEL/CentOS 6.x (from EPEL repo): 2.81
Ubuntu: 14.04 LTS: 2.81

Note: Ubuntu version comes from the 'universe' repo. Thus the version
listed also applies to all Ubuntu derivatives of the same version i.e.
Kubuntu, Ubuntu Gnome etc.

It seems we are lagging behind the distros here and need to get up to
date as to make it easier for devs and users. At minimum we need to
really base on the version that is in long term support distros,
maintain that and update to support the latest and greatest where
necessary/appropriate with the shorter support term distros. Maybe we
should look at this in depth and put planning and dev resources in place
to do it?

At present I see the lack of support for using bullet 2.81 with CS as a
blocker to doing a release.

Regards

Phil
