The idea is to make a package for each library, then a separate package for pd-extended with would be Pd-vanilla with the patches in packages/patches. That's how things are broken out in externals/ Makefile and in PlanetCCRMA (and a bit in the current Debian packages). And I think it makes sense here. Then it also makes for a clear path for people to make packages for their own Pd libs outside of the pure-data CVS, if they so choose. .hc > > Ciao > -- > Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__ > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/ > listinfo/pd-list ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- News is what people want to keep hidden and everything else is publicity. - Bill Moyers _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
