Ubuntu 13.10 official repository?

Why isn't XMMS onto Ubuntu 13.10 official repository?

I think the Ubuntu 13.10 or also known as Saucy Salamander is not a Long-term support release, as speaking of a LTS release these releases are more like some kind of independent release.

Are there instructions for that?

Hi, I downloaded the package but am struggling with how to install. I'm quite new to Linux.
