Maybe some kind soul may help [here](https://github.com/scheinerman/Permutations.jl/issues/6#issuecomment-324707378) with the package manager? A quick Howto to update the version of the Permutations package given by the package manager?

I responded over in the github thread, but basically the issue is that Permutations.jl needs to publish a new version. I suggested using [attobot](https://github.com/attobot/attobot) to automate that process, since it makes publishing new versions much easier.
