apt-get install puredata-import :-D
I do know about it being available in Debian. That still doesn't
make it
part of vanilla. I'm not sure I get your point. By pointing to
puredata-import are you implying that making [declare] work
correctly is
not worth the effort? Should its usage be abandoned in your opinion?
I'm desperately looking for a _generic_ (read: 'working in all
flavours') way to enable libraries in a consistent way. Since
[declare]
is part of vanilla and works in all flavors, it appeared to me to be
the
best candidate. That is why I used [declare] in all Debian package
readmes to show how to enable the respective library. The current
implementation of [declare] has some flaws, which I tried to point
out.
I think it shouldn't be too difficult to agree on how it is supposed
to
work.
OTOH, we could simply ditch [declare] and recommend using [import] to
everyone.
Personally, I think that trying to fix [declare] is worth the
discussion. Also I would like to have it fixed.
Yes, it would be good to have declare fixed. I was just saying that
[import] is a pretty easy option is a lot of places.

of it. - Thomas Jefferson
