The doc and examples directories contain CC non-commercially licensed content, which either need to go into non-free or be removed from the tarball to go into main. See <URL: https://github.com/samaaron/sonic-pi/blob/master/LICENSE.md > for detaljs. The package is said to be in Raspian, but I have been unable to find the deb and dsc in the Raspian repositories, and am unable to verify this. I guess the build rules used there can be used in Debian too. >From the README: Sonic Pi is a new kind of musical instrument. Instead of strumming strings or whacking things with sticks - you write code - live. Sonic Pi has been designed with the aim to find a harmonious balance between three core principles: Simple enough for the 10 year old within you Joyful enough for you to lose yourself through play Powerful enough for your own expressions Sonic Pi is a complete open source programming environment originally designed to explore and teach programming concepts within schools through the process of creating new sounds. In addition to being an engaging education resource it has evolved into an extremely powerful and performance-ready live coding instrument suitable for professional artists and DJs. Whilst Education is a core focus it now sits at the intersection between three core domains: Art - providing the means to express yourself and ask new questions of music and notation Technology - exploring questions related to liveness, time and concurrency in programming languages Education - demonstrating that open play rather than rigid structures increases motivation and engaging in the classroom -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
