Oh, I agree. I made use of the Sigil Linux binary while it was available too. And I'll miss it. But calibre (and previously Sigil) is an exception to the general Linux open-source rule: if you want the latest and greatest version ... build from source. Otherwise, make do with whatever package you can find in your repo. If enough people contact the maintainers of their distro's repos concerning a Sigil package, I have no doubt they'll start adding it, but it's never going to be the latest version.
I found the Sigil build process for Linux fairly straight-forward, but I realize mileage will vary there.
