Whose package system?  Debian had it as of May 12 and 18, respectively.

jags (2.1.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * configure: Once again patched for sh4. 

  * debian/rules: Also run make docs inside doc/manual/
  * debian/control: Added Build-Depends: for manual creation
  * debian/jags.doc: Install the three pdf manuals

Some of my Ubuntu systems get a 

deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib

in /etc/apt/sources.list which is _harmless_ : as it points to sources, it
will never install binaries that could break.  But you _can_ get access to
sources before the corresponding packages come to you via bi-annual Ubuntu
updates.  As discussed here -- so then

	  apt-get update
	  apt-get source -b jags

would build jags. (I do the build in a chroot but it is otherwise the same).

| don't think it is updated yet for Ubuntu.

| In case it saves you some trouble, I've uploaded the package and the
| Debian build stuff here:
| 
| http://pj.freefaculty.org/Ubuntu/10.04/amd64/jags/
| 
| And the package itself is here:
| 
| http://pj.freefaculty.org/Ubuntu/10.04/amd64/jags/jags_2.1.0-1_amd64.deb
| 
| My package signing key is here, in case you are security conscious.

| 
| I am sorry this is not apt-get able.  I'm not in that frame of mind.
| I'm really more of an RPM packager than a DEB builder.
| 
| After installing that, there is joy and happiness in rjags land, as
| you see here.
