"puredata" (along with SuperCollider (which seems to not be in debian anymore) is probably the most important FLOSS realtime computer music package use (at least if you go by references in "relevant" computer music conferences - both academic and independent), so i guess it is quite important (but of course this is my very subjective view) and deserves (whatever that means) an update. "gem" is probably the most well-known add-on to "puredata" allowing you to do graphics in a realtime compositional context. i'm wondering what would be the best way to keep it maintained in debian. should i try and join the multimedia team? should i try and nag the old maintainer (günter geiger) to sponsor the package? i'm really at a loss (and don't want to step on somebodies shoes). fgmasdr IOhannes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksO8foACgkQkX2Xpv6ydvTAlQCfdR0QWrY5jx19jDwSsCR5efhi go8An04Ukd6BfqE3CTPQls2qOW44XZFe =WGq5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
