A stable puredyne metapackage would be a great idea. I
understand that the main focus from puredyne are the liveCD and liveUSB
systems, but it would be also awesome to have a repository dedicated to
deliver Debian Stable newer versions from art apps, so that we can build a
DAW upon a solid basis. It is, however, something similar to what 64studio
and Musix are, but both have it's problem: 64studio's development is really
slow nowadays and both don't offer so many art programming tools as puredyne
does. I'm installing probably this week a GNU audio system on some computers
at the Electronic Music Lab our university here in Brazil and, as it stays
now, I will install Debian Lenny and compile in a regular basis the newer
versions from software we will be using to our audio work. A stable puredyne
repository could change that in the near future.
