Hello Hans,
Thanks for the quick reply. We will be targeting Linux, mostly Ubuntu 11.04.
I would like to develop using a branch in such a way that I can easily push the changes to you through patches or by committing. I am a bit hesitant to develop a release branch instead of the main branch directly, since I might be repeating work.
I already talked to the puredata_opencv guys and they are willing to let me commit code, as long as I discuss the changes before modifying existing functionality.
My username is ricardofabbri just in case, although I totally understand it might be too early for commit privileges, given that I haven't even settled on a workflow.
Best regards, Ricardo -- Linux registered user #175401 www.lems.brown.edu/~rfabbri

Hey Ricardo,
This is great news! Yes, its true, the sources are a bit confusing. Website updates are a good thing. If you are talking about Pd-extended, then all sources are from https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/trunk, except for the core 'pd' part, which is from the pd-extended.git. Once we have the 0.43 release branch, which is soon, then everything will be in this SVN branch:
https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/branches/pd-extended...
You can see the 0.42 release branch here: https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/branches/pd-extended...
Which platform are you going to be targetting?

Hi,
I would like to help out with the development of Pd, in particular with Gem and puredata_opencv. Please be patient as I am just starting with Pd development.
I would like to get some advice from you on how to build from the develpment sources. I can then update the community website instructions based on your responses, if you think that'd be helpful.
I would like to install pd-extended, gem, and pix_opencv from the development source code.
It seems I should download from Subversion, even though Git is used for pd vanilla core and pd-extended core. It seems these Git repos are regularly pushed onto Subversion. Is that true?
Now, should I really download from these?
https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/trunk
and
https://pd-gem.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pd-gem/trunk
Next, I'd like some up-to-date build instructions based on the development code base. Again, I am more than willing to update the online doc with the info you provide.
I appreciate your guidance on how to contribute. I lead a team with computer vision programmers and music composition experts that will be heavily developing Pd in the next coming weeks and months.
