doing this in an svn repository will be so much more easy. > Otherwise we are without > pd-extended builds until it happens. no not quite true. 1st of all, all the /externals would be compiled as usual. (nothing changes here, just some things get added) however /abstractions would be left out of pd-extended at first. then you could just move the abstractions/Makefile as a temporary hack to externals/Makefile.abstractions and call that from externals/Makefile (the same with other stuff, which i am currently unaware that it is in pd-extended: e.g. gripd(?)) this should be doable in one afternoon. > That's not why I spent all my free > time one summer building the Pd-extended and the auto-build farm. > Switching to SVN is not a good enough reason for major breakage. i see your point. that is why i always opposed to a monolithic non-scalable build-system: it makes refactoring hard if not impossible. fmasdr.
