Hey Arnout,

Since there aren't current testing builds, you're best bet is to build from source. The comma error is fixed in SVN, but not in the source tarball. So if you use SVN or rsync (search puredata.info for 'rsync') to get the code, it should build a .deb. There is only one debian/control, it uses the Debian tools to get the dep versions automatically at build time.

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)?

Arnout


As promised, the dependency problems:

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
pd-extended: Depends: libavifile-0.7c2 (>= 1:0.7.47.20070718) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: libmagick++10 but it is not installable
              Depends: libmagick10 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). arnou...@bird:~/progs/pd/pure-data/packages/linux_make$ sudo apt-get install libavifile-0.7c2
