Hey all,
For the new 'puredata' package, I think we should add the user-
installed paths that have been included with Pd-extended for a while
now. Additionally, I'd like to Debianize the directory names (i.e. /
usr/lib/puredata) and add /usr/lib/pd-externals for the install path
for libraries that can be used with 'puredata', 'pd-extended',
'desiredata', etc.
Here are the user-installed locations:
http://www.puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help-files-with-pd-extended
The user-installed folders would not be created by the package, just
searched if they exist, so people can completely ignore them if they
want. I propose the search order look like this:
- paths from preferences
~/pd-externals/
/usr/local/lib/pd-externals
/usr/lib/pd-externals
/usr/lib/puredata
Ultimately, I think some of this stuff should end up in a 'pd-common'
package, including things like the file mime types and the directory /
usr/lib/pd-externals.
