hao, after doing "my first" debianppc install ), i want to head to Pd, dunno if it was gunter who mentioned a repository out there, i have searched with no luck, my best mirrors are in brazil and what i see there is a 0.32 version of pd.
I now i can manually d/l and compile but my Q. goes in search of a deb ftp or http containing stuff like what h.c has already included in the OSX and W%^$^$ extended installers.
It will be of great use a place where to apt-get install a "stable" version + externals..
hope someone can give me directions on this cause im sure im missing something. thanks,

Hi,
If you want to have the latest version pd you will have to use the Debian "unstable" and "experimental" branch.
so in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.br.debian.org/debian unstable main deb ftp://ftp.br.debian.org/debian experimental main
Then do a: apt-get update apt-get install puredata
This will probably pull in lots of updates, so you need a bit of bandwidth.
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.
I could go on talking about Debian release strategy, but it is better I do not start with that, I can just tell you that in the normal case you will be happier using Debian "unstable" instead of stable.

I read:

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.

oh please elaborate on this, I haven't had this discussion for hours ;) maybe invite branden to join the chat ?

I don't recommend using 'unstable' since oftentimes, there are conflicts and problems with package installs. Instead, you can have the best of both worlds: run 'stable' or 'testing' and get Pd from 'unstable' or 'experimental' by setting up the apt preferences. "man apt_preferences" is helpful in this regard.
I attached my /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/preferences for an example. I also including /etc/apt/apt.conf, which you may not need.
