request to update the apt package for verilator

[Daniel Wilkerson]

I am running Ubuntu.
$ uname -srvo
Linux 6.2.0-39-generic #40~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Nov
16 10:53:04 UTC 2 GNU/Linux

My verilator install is from August 2020, so I wanted a new version.
$ sudo apt-get update
...
$ sudo apt-get install verilator
...
verilator is already the newest version (4.038-1).

That is years out of date.  Verilator 5.020 2024-01-01 was just released.

The verilator people say that it is up to the Ubuntu maintainers to
update the apt package, so I thought I would ping you and suggest
that.
