In Ubuntu's "Synaptic Package Manager" you can find a program called "nut-nutrition" and you can install it. How would one go about getting a program in the "Synaptic Package Manager", for example a nutrition program written in Euphoria? Is that a realistic ambition?
I noticed Euphoria is in there, so it seems someone here knows how to do it.

Euphoria is in Ubuntu's package repository? I couldn't find it.
To get a program there you must follow their guide lines, create a deb package file and find someone who is a debian packager who thinks your program is worth included and is willing to sponsor/maintain the package within debian. The later is usually the hard part. The next hard part is creating a conforming deb package. After that it's a breeze.

Yep. 4.0beta4
Euphoria is a simple, flexible, and easy-to-learn programming language. It lets you quickly and easily develop programs for Windows, Linux, OSX and FreeBSD. Euphoria was first released in 1993. Since then Rapid Deployment Software has been steadily improving it with the help of a growing number of enthusiastic users. Although Euphoria provides subscript checking, uninitialized variable checking and numerous other run-time checks, it is extremely fast. People use it to develop Windows GUI programs and Linux/FreeBSD X Windows programs. It is also very useful for CGI (Web-based) programming.

Ah, I suspect that you installed it from the .deb file downloaded from OpenEuphoria.org? Thus, it is registered in your system as a package. It, however, would not be on mine or John Doe's if they had not installed it from the .deb file.
