That is unfortunatly not true, zyGrib was primarily created to have a tool working under Linux.
A couple of persons were packaging it for different versions of Linux.
As mentionned by David, it is difficult to follow all the different packages and sometimes there is quite a long delay between a new version and the integration in a specific package; but of course all contributions are welcome, but also as mentionned, the XyGrib is quite small and cannot assume the responsability of the different packages for the various distros.
But the majority of users are still using OS Windows and that also a reality.
