[Csnd] csound versions in linux distributions

I run csound on several different linux machines, and just noticed this morning that the version on my ubuntu system is at version

--Csound version 6.14 (double samples) 2020-11-20, which I installed with

sudo apt-get install csound

The one on my fedora system, installed with

sudo dnf install csound-devel

is:

--Csound version 6.16 (double samples) Jan 19 2023

I installed csound-devel so I could do some python work with ctcsound. Three questions:

1. How can I get the more current versions without building it myself?
2. Is there a schedule to update the distro repo to include new versions as they are released?
3. Is ctcsound.py included in csound directly? The only reason I installed csound-devel on fedora is to get ctcsound so I could do real time work in python.

Personally I could suggest trying nix package manager, it has super recent csound, vcpkg also works on linux systems and has first-class support from the csound developers
