the package name used to be "pd" > > alternatively, the package name could be changed, if there is no nameclash. it was changed to "puredata", which seems to be meant as the specific name (e.g. pd-vanilla). i think the idea is, that several packages (puredata, PdX), can be installed either side-by-side or exclusively, and packages depending on "pd" (which the various flavours "provide") will still have their dependencies fullfilled. however, i don't see a really compelling reason why things should be moved from /usr/lib/pd to /usr/lib/puredata. it might be sufficient to symlink from /u/l/puredata to /u/l/pd for now. or the other way round. /usr/lib/pd should be kept. ah, and there is a tool to test for compliance with debian rules: lintian you can make it very picky (telling it to show not only errors and ordinary warnings, but also "pedantic" warnings and "experimental" inconsistencies). the puredata package i posted on mentors (still pending a mentor though), is lintian clean in this regard, even though it installs into /u/l/pd i wouldn't change anything without a compelling reason. fgmasdr IOhannes
