Well, I don't found the pure data extended programing language and Processing.

Please add this. I need this for eletronic arts

Is already present for Mageia 2, where were you looking?

Pd gives you a canvas for patching together modules that analyze, process,
and synthesize sounds, together with a rich palette of real-time control
and I/O possibilities.  Similar to Max (Cycling74) and JMAX (IRCAM).  A
related software package named Gem extends Pd's capabilities to include
graphical rendering.

Well I don't found this in the mageia software center. I typed pd or pure data and I don't found. I downloaded mageia dvd 32 bits and I don't found pure data vanilla and pure data extended in repositories. I swear.

Well, do you have it installed now or not?

Yes I do.

But... why I don't find in mageia control center?

Could you put pd extended. vanilla is for experts and extended is for dummies.

Do not ask me, please file a package request for that: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_repor ... ge_request

Well I don't found this in the mageia software center. I typed pd or pure data and I don't found.

I guess your repositories are not set up correctly?

pd and pd-extended are different kind of packaging. The former is a vanilla one and the later includes lots of useful libraries so the later become the de facto choice for users. However their file structures are little bit different so it is not trival for a novice to add the extra libraries on top of the mageia pd package, at least to me. If some one know where should we marry these two different file structure together. I can help to build and to package the pd-extended for magia later.

I did try installing the onle avaiable RPM of pd-extended on Mageia , which is intended for Fedora by CCRMA. It does not work becuase its dependency of other libraries.

there is a bug report requesting adding pd-extended in Mageia
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9613

Next time please have a look for the age of the thread, last reply was nearly a year ago

It has not been updated for years. pd (aka the pd-vanilla) is very limited whereas most people like to use pd-extended which includes the pd and lots of useful libraries.
If Mageia 3/4/5 copuld not support the packaging of pd-extended, I was wondering if at least we can upgrade to a newer version of pd-vanilla (currently 0.46-7 from https://puredata.info/downloads/pure-data) starting from mga6. Because starting from pd-vanilla 0.43, it was reported that user can install a plug-in (https://github.com/pure-data/deken) to manage the various extension (similar to the way homebrew do for mac OSX) Without those extension libraries, pd is handicapped.

Well you better raise a package request about that, after searching if it hasn't been reported yet already: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_repor ... ge_request
