Hello, I'm having a bit of a hard time installing pd-extended on Debian Testing, and would like to help getting this into a better shape.
The package 0.41.4 package found at http://puredata.info/downloads and in the repo cannot be installed due to some dependency problems (details below). The 0.41.4 source package failed to generate a package, among some other troubles the Debian/control file missed a comma. I figured since I was going to have to fix stuff anyway, I might just as well go with the lastest CVS version. I fetched the source as documented on http://puredata.info/docs/developer/GettingPdSource with checkout-developer-layout.sh. After fixing a couple of compile errors ( https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2862191&group_id=55736&atid=478070 ) this produced a .deb file. However, this .deb claims to be version '0.40.3', and points to some dependencies that do not exist in Debian testing (e.g. jack is just called libjack0, not libjack0.100.0-0. Is this '0.30.4' version a mistake, or did I get the wrong sources? I see only one Debian/control file, pure-data/packages/linux_make/debian/control . Shouldn't there be one for each kind of Debian package that can be generated (stable/testing/unstable/ubuntu/etc)?
