Jumped the gun a bit, forgot to include the new demo, here's an
updated zip file:

Basically, my point is, it would be great if abstractions also looked
in '.' for their helppatch just like externals.

So here's the solution i came up with, you
make a 'lib' folder in your project, stick the libraries as folders
in
'lib', then use [declare -path lib]. Here's an example:

But what about "sorry, couldn't find help patch for "mapping/
curve.pd"" ?
I should have said, due to bugs in [declare], this only works on GNU/
Linux. Since Miller uses Linux, I was assuming that its the
reference
platform in terms of how [declare] works. It currently works
differently/less on Mac OS X, for example.
What are these differences? In our RjDj sprints, most people use OS-
X with no
problems, and on Linux, the help files still aren't found either -
which is a
known issue of directory prefixes since ages: You have to set the
help-path as
well.
But if libraries have complicated interdependencies or assume
certain
global
path layouts, then this approach fails, which was the case with the
old mapping
files, at least partly.
Part of my point with this examples is to show that you can have a
simple setup while using namespace prefixes in the project,
libraries as
folders, and in the libraries that a project uses. I couldn't find
any
issues with the setup illustrated in that tarball, have you found
some?
"mapping" still assumes that it is installed in a subdirectory
called "mapping"
whose parent is in the search path. It's not possible for a user to
just drop
the patches from "mapping" into her project folder directly or into a
differently named subdir made know with declare. A user has to
mimick the
directory layout set in mapping. And do so for purepd as well.
That's not a
problem with the tarball, it just a - deliberate - restriction of
"mapping".
