this is just to announce, that the latest and greatest Pd is now also
available pre-packaged for Debian 9 ("stretch").
Debian/stretch has been released in June 2017, *before* Pd-0.48 was
released. Debian policy does not allow updating packages after a Debian
release, which often means that users end up with out-of-date packages
(after all, Debian does a release every 2 years or so; which means that
available packages can be several years old - esp. if people insist on
not upgrading to the latest Debian/stable).
in comes Debian/backports, which allows users to install up-to-date
packages on their stable Debian systems, with full Debian support.
For instructions on how to enable this, see:
http://backports.debian.org/
I intend to provide backports for all Pd related packages (Pd-vanilla
and all those externals available).
I do not intend to provide backports for Debian/jessie (RaspberryPi
users are advised to upgrade to Debian/stretch; really anybody is
advised to do that)

sidenote: i generally recommend to use Debian/stable on servers, and use
Debian/testing (constantly updating) for anything multimedia related (as
you usually don't want to use multimedia applications that are several
years old). with Debian/backports you can have the best of two worlds -
a rock solid OS with some select up-to-date applications.
