Hi fellow translators.
I am a student helper at the UNC (Unicersidad Nacional de Cordoba), Argentina.
I was wondering when will a new release of OmegaT will be out for Linux, mainly large distributions such as Ubuntu. I am very interested also in knowing if integration with Subversion will be improved.
Thanks! I hope I'm posting this correctly.

The version you can get from Debian (and consequently on Debian-based distributions) is obsolete. It is 2.3.0, which was released in 2012.
The Latest version of OmegaT, 3.6.0, was released a few days ago. It does include two versions for Linux (32 and 64-bit), plus a multi-platform version.

I am very interested also in knowing if integration with Subversion will be improved.
It depends with what version you are comparing and what you expect.
As far as Subversion is concerned, 3.6.0 has no specific improvement compared to 3.5.
However, compared with 2.3, OmegaT has now team projects, which can be used with Subversion and Git:

Yes, OmegaT 2.3.0 may be obsolete, but it works. Maybe that's the point Debian, Ubuntu and the distros based on these maintain it. Stability is too important.

The distro ships with OmegaT 3.6.0 already pre-installed, but it seems to be installed from source and when I installed Cinnamon, MATE and Gnome desktops, OmegaT was simply blown out. In the Synaptic repositories there's only version 2.3.0.
Three possibilities:
1. download the 3.6.0 tar.bz2 package from sourceforge and re-install it from a shell.
2. download and install the 2.3.0 deb package from the official repositories.
3. download the 3.6.0 exe package and run it in wine. (have not tested the latter one yet) ▲ Collapse

| There is no maintainer on Debian | Oct 29, 2016 |

Actually, the issue in Debian is that there is no maintainer for the OmegaT package.

Didn't know about that one. Possibly the guys there in Innsbruck might be interested in taking over the maintenance. I'm gonna suggest them.

| My best solution so far | Nov 1, 2016 |
This weekend I decided to try building a deb package from the OmegaT 3.6.0 source package, but I had to give up on it since there's no configure file for ./configure and checkinstall. So I had to abandon that idea.
Primary notes:
A. I have four operating systems installed in my notebook:
1. Canaima Popular 4.1 "Kukenán" Estable: a Venezuelan governmental distro based on Debian 7.9 "Wheezy" Stable, and one of the rare cases of a distro developed by a govern... See more This weekend I decided to try building a deb package from the OmegaT 3.6.0 source package, but I had to give up on it since there's no configure file for ./configure and checkinstall. So I had to abandon that idea.
Primary notes:
A. I have four operating systems installed in my notebook:
1. Canaima Popular 4.1 "Kukenán" Estable: a Venezuelan governmental distro based on Debian 7.9 "Wheezy" Stable, and one of the rare cases of a distro developed by a government, authority or the military which works; 4.1 is somewhat outdated, from 2014, but since the new version 5.0 "Chimantá" Estable is not out yet, I keep using it. Canaima is a simple distro for working and studying, but also for everything what a home user might invent to do with his/her computer. That distro is completely bug and trouble free, have never seen something like that before.
2. TuxTrans 16.04 "Xenial" LTS: the distro by Innsbruck University based on Xubunutu 16.04 "Xenial" LTS specialized in translators' needs I mentioned in another post above.
3. Kaiana 14.04 "Trusty" LTS: a Brazilian distro developed by a gang linked to Federal University of Paraná and based on Kubuntu 14.04 "Trusty" LTS. Like Canaima, a simple distro for work, studying and everything else, not as stable as, but still the best distro Brazil is producing currently. 16.06 "Xenial" LTS should come out soon.
4. Slackware 14.2: yes, the legendary Slackware, also known as "the curse of Patrick Volkerding", or simply "St. Patrick's curse". But that one, after 12 years I hardly ever use it for work anymore, today I keep it more for my geeky and nerdy moments... LOL
B. In Canaima and Kaiana, I already had OmegaT 2.3.0 from their official repositories installed. In TuxTrans I installed 2.3.0 either after Cinnamon and MATE got in and 3.6.0 blew out.
Solution found:
1. Download the OmegaT_3.6.0_04_Linux_64.tar.bz2 (64 bit) or OmegaT_3.6.0_04_Linux.tar.bz2 (32 bit) package, according to your needs, from https://sourceforge.net/projects/omegat/files/OmegaT%20-%20Standard/OmegaT%203.6.0%20update%204/
2. Open a shell:
sudo su
password
cd /home/your user name/folder_to_where_you_have_saved_it/subfolder_to_where_you_have_saved it
ls
You should see the the tar.bz2 file.
3. Extract the file:
tar -jxvf OmegaT_3.6.0_04_Linux_64.tar.bz2
or
tar -jxvf OmegaT_3.6.0_04_Linux.tar.bz2
4. Locate the file:
cd /home/your user name/folder_to_where_you_have_saved_it/subfolder_to_where_you_have_saved it/OmegaT
ls
You should see the extracted folder's content
5. You will see a file called a file called linux-install.sh
./linux-install.sh
And ready, OmegaT 2.3.0 is upgraded to OmegaT 3.6.0, and your synaptic will continue having 2.3.0 as installed.
Since it works on Canaima, TuxTrans and Kaiana, it should work on all Debian and Ubuntu based distros. The operation may look complicated, but after once the package is downloaded, it doesn't take more than three minutes to have an operating OmegaT 3.6.0.

I don't see how TuxTrans or OmegaT might have been abandoned.
As Didier Briel points out, TuxTrans' latest update dates from September 30, 2016.
For OmegaT, the latest update for OmegaT is dated October 22, 2016: https://sourceforge.net/projects/omegat/files/OmegaT%20-%20Standard/
And for the nerds amon translators, OmegaT 4.0.1 beta has already been out since October 03, 2016: https://sourceforge.net/projects/omegat/files/OmegaT%20-%20Latest/
