[PD-dev] build instructions for pd-extended

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey Ricardo,

If you want commit access, here is the process, its pretty simple:

http://puredata.info/docs/developer/SVNCommitAccess

We do need work out the flow before you start directly committing.   
The rule of the pure-data SVN is that you need to have explicit  
permission to each file that you want to work on.  Usually this goes  
on a library-by-library basis, for example puredata_opencv. You just  
ask on pd-dev for permission.

For things that are directly maintained in SVN, it makes sense to  
commit directly there.  For things that are maintained in git, then  
you should make your own fork of pd-extended.git, and submit 'git  
format-patch' files to the patch tracker.

Either way, starting by submitting patches to the tracker would be the  
best way to start.  There is no barrier, you can do that now.
