I don't think this is at all off-topic, by the way. I think you should post this on the main list.
I think this is a good idea. It would be good to have a repository that is really easy to contribute too. I think this could happen on puredata.info. I think a really cool grand plan would be to make an apt-get/Eclipse updates system where people can publish their own libs as repositories, then people can manage the packages from Pd. Seeing what you guys have done with netpd, I think it would be possible to implement this in Pd. If there are things missing, I'll implement them! :D .hc On Oct 26, 2007, at 5:38 AM, Enrique Erne wrote: > dear Ladies and Gentlemen > > i cleaned up my pd-user desktop and merged all directories > together. desk2, > desk3, desk4, newstuff, newstuff2, newstuff3 newstuff4 ist now all > into desk1 > agian :) > > now there are over 500 patches and patch-collections in desk1. i > like pd and its > free chaotic structure but i really miss a "central library", a > place where > _everybody_ can submit patches/abs with only a few rules. > > some of my are in cvs and some are somewhere else (i'm sure i'd > find them after a > while) > > some examples (very incomplete list) > - s-abstractions (don't know where to find) > - jmmmp, list-abs (cvs) > - pdmtl (don't know where to find) > (what was the mtl again?) > - dsplib ???? > - rradical, metastudio, pixeltango and lots of other projects > - then there is the pdforum and the pdlist with lots of single patches > - pd(web)ring with all the awesome sites and patches > > how about we start somewhere a new place and agree on some basic > rules. > > for example > - all abstraction have to go to the same directory abs (lets force > and fight > nameclashes) > - all patches have to be in a directory patches (no funky directory > naming) > - all patches should have [import] for the used extrenals (pd-ext > has all the > externals and uses import) > - ? > > install the "central lib" > - abs has to be in the searchpath > - ? > > it's funny to have all the funky names in cvs but they often are > just names and > don't say anything about what they do nor are they a big help for > newbies. zexy, > vbap, unauthorized, tb or footils, la-kitchen, nusmuk and so on... > where is the > church of consistency? ;-) > > what are you're thoughts about that? > > regards > > > _______________________________________________ > PD-ot mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-ot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- The arc of history bends towards justice. - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
