now.. what would be *really* nice would be if fresh versions all of the externals could be "apt-gotten" with apt-get (I guess this would be linux-only).. It's become quite convenient on Ubuntu to type:
apt-get update apt-get install puredata pd-zexy
..and have it all just work. :) Anyone know if this is easy to set up?
It is quite easy to setup an external debian package repository, but getting the packages into Debian/Ubuntu is a bit harder (remember the Gem borkage on Ubuntu ?), and I still haven't decided how/if to go about it.
There are several issues I am not feeling very comfortable about, and considering that doing the packaging of pd stuff for Debian has been a rather rewardless job in the past I doubt that I will take that burden.
I think the best would be if we do Debian packages for an external apt-gettable repository, this would also make it easier to keep them up to date etc.

Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:
In reality, in order to build the externals with the Pd-extended build system, you need:
externals/ pd/ packages/Makefile.buildlayout
That doesn't seem like much of a burden to me.
Thanks for clarifying this. I agree that this isn't much of a burden.
Ciao
