Hi there,

Petter, Georges and I are preparing Sonic Pi (sonic-pi.net) for
Debian-compliant packaging, see RFP #796550
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796550>

Sonic Pi combines an electronic synthesizer with a ruby interpreter to
create a new kind of electronic instrument. Made for school children
ages 8 and up, it teaches how to code through the joy of making music.

It comes pre-installed on Raspbian, but their .deb packaging rules are
unconvential.

Sonic Pi depends on supercollider as its synth backend and depends on
the supercollider sc3 plugin collection, see RFP #807364
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=807364>

We have prepared a .deb package of supercollider-sc3-plugins at

<https://github.com/deb-pkg-sonic-pi/pkg-supercollider-sc3-plugins>

and request review and, if acceptable, inclusion of the package.

The package depends on libstk0-dev, but there was a packaging bug with
it that was fixed for sid with #805549 (thanks!). It would be beneficial
if the same libstk0-dev bug could be fixed for stretch, jessie and
wheezy to make the supercollider-sc3-plugins buildable there, see
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=805549#27>

Regards,

Hanno
