Hello list! I have some questions regarding the architectures available in dekenI noticed that deken has many different architectures possible for the packages, as i checked by now (not an exhaustive search) there is at least 8 for linux, (amd64-32, amd64-64, i386-32, arm64-32, armv6-32, armv7-32, armv7-64, armv7l-32), at least 4 for mac (amd64-32, x86_64-32, i386-32, PowerPC-32) and at least 2 for windows (amd64-32, i386-32).
the format is documented at: https://github.com/pure-data/deken/tree/master/developer#filename-format
There are more?
theoretically many more. the specifier is open for new CPU-architectures, floatsizes and OSs.
example, i get that its package is amd64-64 for linux, and i can install it on normal pd, but pd double refuses it, as it is a 32bit-float object.
ah yes.we are currently at the deken format-specification "1", which mandates a .dek extension and which defines a strict interpretation of the architecture specifier. there's *also* the legacy deken format-specification "0" (the packages with .zip, .tgz or .tar.gz extensions), which was much more relaxed and thus created the confusion that you are now seeing. in this format, the last number was indeed not very clearly defined, and people used if for multiple things. the use of the deken v0 is highly discouraged (exactly because it is not well-defined) for new packages, but the packages can still be consumed (as the original Pd-extended batch upload used this format).
in practice, all packages that use deken v0 are single-precision float, and that last number is practically useless and is therefore ignored by both the deken-plugin (that is: when searching externals from within Pd) and the websearch on https://deken.puredata.info

so if you want to take that route, go ahead. feedback on the API is welcome, e.g. at https://git.iem.at/zmoelnig/deken-serverbut manually maintaining such a table seems a bit crazy (well: futile) too me.
