Hi

I added the current version of Pure Data to my personal package archive (PPA), so that it is finally possible to get a recent version of Pd on Ubuntu without compiling.

Kudos goes to IOhannes who maintains the puredata package on Debian and who makes sure that the most recent release of Pd is available in the backports repository. His work enabled me to just¹ get his package sources and push them to my PPA.

I also rewrote the "How to install on Debian/Ubuntu" FAQ page on puredata.into who was referring to the retired apt.puredata.info repo and Pd-extended.

You find instructions on how to get the most recent version of Pd on Debian and on Ubuntu here:
