well, the only _current_ pd-distro that i know of, is debian (holding pd-0.39 plus a bunch of externals)
which shouldn't make your (and other's) efforts less...
I didn't realize that the Debian packages were being updated (Not that I am faulting Guenter at all, Pd-extended was built upon his work). The newest "pd-externals" and "pd-zexy" packages that I see are both from 2004-06-25. The "puredata" package is more up-to-date than Pd-extended. "gem" seems up to date, and PDP hasn't changed in a long while, so "pd-pdp" is up to date. pidip is missing from Debian tho.
If you go outside of Debian repositories, you can get some up-to-date stuff here: http://sindominio.net/~caedes/debian/readme
Oops, I almost forgot flext & externals. The only Debian packages I see for flext are "pd-flext" and "pd-flext-dev", none for externals. The two existing one are in experimental and haven't been updated in a while.
My point in all this is that hopefully we can get the Debian packages generated from Pd-extended also, so that we can join forces on all this building grunt work. I believe Frank has started. I am hoping that pure::dyne will merge with Pd-extended build system as well, the more the merrier! Share the grunt work!
