I am subscribed though mostly lurking.

Thanks for this link. Of course I searched around but this one was
hidden from view.

To build the debian-git-checkout both patches [1,2] are still needed
here. Without the wiimote fix it I get:

  Source/lang/LangPrimSource/SC_Wii.cpp: In member function
    'cwiid_wiimote_t* SC_WIIManager::discover()':
  Source/lang/LangPrimSource/SC_Wii.cpp:364:12: error: taking address
    of temporary [-fpermissive]
  scons: *** [Source/lang/LangPrimSource/SC_Wii.os] Error 1

and without overriding the shlibdeps:

  dh_shlibdeps -psupercollider
  dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for /usr/lib
    /libstdc++.so.6 (used by debian/supercollider/usr/bin/sclang).
  dh_shlibdeps: dpkg-shlibdeps -Tdebian/supercollider.substvars
    debian/supercollider/usr/bin/sclang returned exit code 2
  make: *** [binary-predeb-IMPL/supercollider] Error 2
  dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error
    exit status 2

The latter may be specific to my system.. overriding it was a pragmatic
solution to actually make some music instead of playing with dpkg.
I suppose you guys know how to properly fix this in a jiffy. I'll watch
and learn.

As for joining the maintainer-team: Alas, I have to refuse. I am already
tied up in too many projects.

ciao,
robin
