I didn't mind compiling from source but it is pretty handy to be able to just do apt-get when setting up a new Pi.i'm not sure i understand the question here. you can always get the version of Pd by just running 'pd -version' (if you still have the "puredata-core" package installed, run '/usr/bin/pd -version' to not accidentally run your self-compiled one.I am very likely not understanding how these things work, or explaining myself correctly! What I was trying to say was that it would be great if running the command “sudo apt-get install puredata” could install the latest version of Pd (0.54.1) on Pi OS. As far as I can tell, running that command currently installs v0.51.4.
indeed, this is not how it works.Linux distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi OS, and many others have a notion of "stable releases". Once a given version of these distros is released, software packages are no longer updated. So if you were using Debian/sarge (which was released in 2005) *today*, and you run 'apt-get update; apt-get install puredata' you will get Pd-0.38-4, as this was the current Pd version when Debian/sarge was released. If you are running Debian/bullseye (which was released in 2021) *today*, and you run 'apt-get update; apt-get install puredata' you will get Pd-0.51-4, as this was the current Pd version when Debian/bullseye was released (and yes: Raspberry Pi OS 11 is based on Debian/bullseye).
this is a feature, not a bug
Perhaps this is because I am running an older Pi - 32 bit OS 11 on a Pi 3. In any case I compiled Pd myself in order to get the latest version.
So, if you want a new version of Pd, run a new version of Raspberry Pi OS. E.g. RPiOS 12 (based on Debian/bookworm) ships with Pd-0.53-1.
RPiOS 13 (based on Debian/trixies) ships with Pd>=0.54 gfmdsar IOhannes
