Sounds like your thesis is nowhere near completed yet "...it's due in..."
is in the future tense.  Now if you had said "... it was due in..."

You need to go download, build and install the latest version
immediately (I have not found any rpms for it yet)

'Literate programming' is a big con.  Have you ever read any of
his code?
