this is just to announce, that the latest and greatest Pd is now also
available pre-packaged for Debian 9 ("stretch").Debian/stretch has been released in June 2017, *before* Pd-0.48 was released. Debian policy does not allow updating packages after a Debian release, which often means that users end up with out-of-date packages (after all, Debian does a release every 2 years or so; which means that available packages can be several years old - esp. if people insist on not upgrading to the latest Debian/stable). in comes Debian/backports, which allows users to install up-to-date packages on their stable Debian systems, with full Debian support. For instructions on how to enable this, see: http://backports.debian.org/ I intend to provide backports for all Pd related packages (Pd-vanilla and all those externals available). I do not intend to provide backports for Debian/jessie (RaspberryPi users are advised to upgrade to Debian/stretch; really anybody is advised to do that) mfgsdr IOhannes sidenote: i generally recommend to use Debian/stable on servers, and use Debian/testing (constantly updating) for anything multimedia related (as you usually don't want to use multimedia applications that are several years old). with Debian/backports you can have the best of two worlds - a rock solid OS with some select up-to-date applications.
