Hi Cyrille,

this is certainly possible, if someone spend time working on this.

i mean : if you don't care about conservation or portability, just start pd
loading a maximum of externals and use all of them.
but if you do care about conservation or portability, then load pd with only a minimal
set of externals, and "declare" the other only when you need them.
I do care of both. I've used to write my patch with pd-extended, that eliminates the
problem "from the root".
pd-extended did not solve this problem: pd-extended create this problem!
In this way my patch will work (almost) certainly with pd-extended across each
platform and from now on.
But I've decided to abandon extended for all the reason that we all know :)
The problem, now, is:
- If I want to distribute my patch, it would be great to write down the dependencies, for
example in the README. And virtually, since I've used to work with pd-extended, I've in some
way "lost" the border within vanilla objects and extended objects, so I've to
manually check each time (i.e.: hummm spigot~ is vanilla? NO, ok... let me check... oh ok...
is in the unathorized package -> each time for each object).
- I use different machines with different OS, etc... and sometimes I use
"fresh" pd vanilla installation. Ideally, I want to install only the externals
that I need. If I have a list of externals needed for my patch, this process would be
much more easy (few clicks with Deken)!
i think you should first reduce number of external you need : spigot~ can be
certainly be replace with a *~...
you can replace lot's of externals using abstractions.
that's a lot of work, but your patchs will be lot's more portable.

So, my advice is :
better than making a mess and try to fix it latter, it's easier to make things
clean in the 1st time.
I totally agree with this! :)
