Thank you! Did you have a chance to look at Downloads as well?

To quote from our Downloads page:

"...several flavors of Linux allow an install of Subsurface from within
the OS. While this is very convenient, the versions offered are often
outdated and they tend to not be built with our private copies of a couple
of the key libraries that we use, so the official packages from Subsurface
(as they become available) should be the much better choice."

And Debian Jessie binaries are already available. I ran out of time for
the RPM based distributions but hope to get to that today.
