Debian has had GSL packages since August 1998. I have maintained them since
November 1999 and always provide current packages, often within a day of the
GSL release itself. To take but the most recent example, gsl_1.7-1 was
uploaded on September 15, 2005, whereas the upstream tarball has files dates
September 14, 2005. See http://changelogs.debian.net/gsl for details.
And by providing Debian package, gsl also makes it into Ubuntu, Knoppix, and
other derivatives as e.g. my Quantian project.
