what i mean by pd-application is centered around the application rather than pd: the app just happens to be written in Pd and comes with externals as needed. an example for such an application is iem's CUBEmixer (https://iem.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/iem/spatialization/CUBEmixer/trunk) >> put it into cvsroot/pure-data/configure.in, but leave out pd/src/ >> and the kernel-configuration. > > I don't understand the objection to using a directory called > "packages". How is that any different than "externals"? I don't i have no objections to using a directory called "packages". i was only objecting to put every single configuration into pd/src/configure.in > limits.
