Please report the crashes on 042.5 so we can fix them. That's the Pd-extended version targeted at 10.04.

OK... could you confirm a couple of facts for me, since there is such a mess of info out there...

Are you a journalist? Or the inquisition? ;-)

(1) You (Hans) are the 'main' known maintainer/builder of pd-extended, at least for debian/ubuntu?

I suppose you could say that.

(2) There are no stable builds of pd-extended for Karmic or Lucid
(yet)?

beta quality, so its a great time to report bugs since we are working
on the release!

pd-ext just completely disappeared on me, twice, while editing completely different stuff within the space of two hours. Neither error was easily reproducible (ie going back and doing more or less the same again didn't crash pd again). If I try the nightly build again I will run it from a terminal and try to document errors (where

• on this list?), but in all seriousness I just need a rock-stable

system to code and perform on - if there's no such thing for Lucid yet I may have to go (reluctantly) go for pd-vanilla or puredyne.

If you can reproduce those bugs, then they are pretty easy to fix.

Hi all,

I'm wondering if there's a stable pd-extended available for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS yet.

I've tried the lucid nightly build from 7th May (A couple of random crashes made me uninstall it pretty damn quick), and I've tried the repository (Jaunty version), which had unsatisfiable dependencies.

Anyone doing better?
