Linux distributions typically provide only stable software (except presumably
for particularly popular packages). For example, according to
packages.debian.org the Debian packages "povray", "povray-includes" and
"povray-examples" for "Jessie", "Stretch" and "Sid" are at 3.7.0.

We do not make any attempts to provide pre-built packages for any Linux distro
whatsoever.

To install any contemporary official POV-Ray release or pre-release on any
Unixoid system without using a package manager, download the corresponding
..tar.gz source code package from https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/releases, and
follow the instructions outlined in `unix/README.md`.
