I read:
If people are interested I can offer a backport of the latest pd to Debian stable. Just not on powerpc, because I do not have a Mac.
If you choose to do this I could grab the source and do ppc packaging of the .deb. OTOH I think using unstable is just fine for most people and I personally prefer building pd from source anyway.
I could go on talking about Debian release strategy, but it is better I do not start with that,
oh please elaborate on this, I haven't had this discussion for hours ;) maybe invite branden to join the chat ?
</oops>
take care,
