It is quite easy to setup an external debian package repository, but getting the packages into Debian/Ubuntu is a bit harder (remember the Gem borkage on Ubuntu ?), and I still haven't decided how/if to go about it. There are several issues I am not feeling very comfortable about, and considering that doing the packaging of pd stuff for Debian has been a rather rewardless job in the past I doubt that I will take that burden. I think the best would be if we do Debian packages for an external apt-gettable repository, this would also make it easier to keep them up to date etc. Günter > > -David M. > > On 8/9/06, Frank Barknecht <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hallo, > > Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: > > > > > In reality, in order to build the externals > > > with the Pd-extended build system, you need: > > > > > > externals/ > > > pd/ > > > packages/Makefile.buildlayout > > > > > > That doesn't seem like much of a burden to me. > > > > Thanks for clarifying this.
