The libdir format does not in any way require the use of [import]/ [declare], so it looks like we are in complete agreement about the goals of the library format itself. Now it's time to implement it :) My #1 priority for the rest of this month is to make that work. Any help is always appreciated. Some tasks that would be easy to break out: - writing the help browser to support this - writing code to scan to build the lists of help files, examples, etc. - fixing import/declare to fully support this - fixing the patch-local namespace stuff to fully support this I'm going to start with the last two. .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- 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
