Just having a link in the pure-data SVN to the pdmtl abstractions isn't really useful from my experience. I think it would be more useful to import pdmtl releases into the pure-data SVN. But it seems that there aren't any pdmtl releases.
By just importing the latest pdmtl abstractions into Pd-extended, I think that will cause more problems that in solves. I think it makes more sense to work out the details of a user-managed externals installation location, then the users can manage pdmtl there using SVN or whatever. On Mac OS X since 0.39.3-extended, /Library/Pd is a such a location. Just put your code there and it is in the default path for objects and help files. We just need to pick standard locations for GNU/ Linux and Windows, then add it to default preferences, then I think that will be the best solution for managing pdmtl with Pd-extended. This really the direction that Pd-extended should be going on. Only really stable things should be included, other things should be managed outside. Ideally we'd have some kind of apt-get for Pd. .hc On Mar 22, 2008, at 12:56 PM, Luke Iannini (pd) wrote: > Hi Hans, > Hm, that's odd, a weird PATH issue perhaps?
