I am not sure whether anybody knows how many Linux distros there
are. However, if I conisder the main families of distros then
the situation is as follows:
* the last release of lout is 3.40 from 27-Jun-2013
* Fedora has lout 3.40 (maintained by me) kept in as good
state as possible.
* Debian has lout 3.39 built last on August 1st, 2016,
apparently with rather inactive maintenance, because bug
about the latest release (#769638) got completely ignored.
Aside from that there are two outstanding bugs:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=289997
-- RFE for inclusion of new fonts
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=179576
-- @Cite can seriously affect justification (sent here as
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/lout/conversations/topics/2573)
Ubuntu is derived from Debian, so it has the same package
and no bugs.
* Arch has 3.40 last updated 2013-07-15 07:04 UTC with no
bugs reported.
* Mageia has 3.40
https://madb.mageia.org/package/show/application/0/name/lout
from 2016-02-08 17:14:46 and I cannot find any bugs for
it, but not sure I got it right.
* Gentoo has 3.40
https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-text/lout built
9 Dec 2017 12:41 in some distribution-wide rebuilt, and no
outstanding bugs (and labelled maintainer-needed)
* Slackware (does still anybody uses it?) doesn’t seem to
have lout packaged.
* OpenSUSE doesn't seem to have lout packaged.
Best,
