This is cheating but Debian has a web repository at http://packages.debian.org where you can download packages for different architectures and search, etc.  Find out what packages Pd-extended depends on, download the ppc .deb files from the debian server, pop them on a flash drive and drop them on your net-less ppc at home and then install them first with

sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb

Then install the pd-extended deb package using the same command.

That's what I would do - but it's not very elegant and maybe someone has a better idea.

Hi!

Maybe this is more of an ubuntu package question than a Pd question, but...

I've got an old iMac running xubuntu at home, except that home has no
internet connection. When I tried installing the pd-extended package
it went and tried to download the depends, which of course it
couldn't, because it has no internet connection.

Is there a complete meta-package of Pd-extended and all the depends
that I could just plop onto this machine? Is it possible to make one
(I don't have access to another PPC-ubuntu machine with a net
connection to do this, it would have to be either an intel-ubuntu or
OS X machine doing the work).

Thanks!
D
