Why GDM is not in the repos of Trisquel 7? Also, I saw gnome shell 3.8 and 3.10. Why is it so?

GDM is in the repos. Its package name is gdm.
The GNOME shell is version 3.10.

I installed using this ISO trisquel_7.0-20140709_i686.iso. Is it outdated? I am sure I didn't find gdm. When I tried to install gnome-shell 3.10 I got a list of many packages that where not going to be installed. I manually installed many but gdm coz it was not to be found anywhere. I finally used ppa to install it. Also, I found a meta-package for gnome 3.8. Trying to install it gave me a notice for dependency problems.

The ISO doesn't matter if you want to install from the repos. gdm is definitely in the repos. Maybe if you run an "apt-get update" it will show up.
