the version of Pd that is currently accessible from apt-get? I didn't mind compiling from source but it is pretty handy to be able to just do apt-get when setting up a new Pi.
i'm not sure i understand the question here.
you can always get the version of Pd by just running 'pd -version' (if you still have the "puredata-core" package installed, run '/usr/bin/pd -version' to not accidentally run your self-compiled one.
I am very likely not understanding how these things work, or explaining myself correctly!
What I was trying to say was that it would be great if running the command “sudo apt-get install puredata” could install the latest version of Pd (0.54.1) on Pi OS. As far as I can tell, running that command currently installs v0.51.4.
Perhaps this is because I am running an older Pi - 32 bit OS 11 on a Pi 3. In any case I compiled Pd myself in order to get the latest version.
I don’t know the process for updating the packages that are available from apt-get, I just thought it would be something useful to do.
