The RAT Unit occasionally provide upgraded software ahead of basic DICE or Teaching/Research Requirement provision if demand is high enough. If inclusion globally would interfere with continuity / compatibility for any reason, software upgrades are provided as option headers.
Visibility of these optional upgrades is generally very low due to the unofficial way in which they're provided. This page is an attempt to list such headers as maintained by RAT, so that they can be added by others without causing conflicts or additional support burden.
End-users should not attempt to modify this page: to request or discuss packages, please file a regular support request using the Support Form.
Available Options
It is important to remember that these packages are not (yet) officially supported, and that problems resulting from their use will require the base DICE package to be restored. However most of these packages are considered stable and many will become DICE default, in time.

Installed, non-default package versions:
This section explains where non-default versions have been installed on DICE alongside regular pakages, or where older versions are being maintained (but we'd like to remove them).
