Nope!

PSPP is under active development. I'm currently working on the Custom Tables procedure.

Hi Friedrich

Many thanks for the update and the link. I wondered if SPSS had sued or something like that!

Kind regards

Hi Roy,

i guess this is related to a licensing problem which resulted in pspp being dropped in debian. During that time Ubuntu started a new distribution focal where pspp was then missing. I resolved the licensing issue so pspp is now back but not in Focal.

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-pspp/2020-05/msg00004.html

I guess Linux Mint then copied from Ubuntu Focal and therefore it is also missing in Mint.

Cheers

Fritz
