Maybe we should finish that curl external I kind of started several months ago. With the HCS tools, we would have enough low-level externals to do it in Pd. Someone wants to help with that piece of code ? It is such a mess. I just need to add threads into that to avoid it to die stupidly. (see att

Yeah, that code could be turned into a library then used for the versioning for this Pd apt-get. The other parts include a common library/package format (like finishing up libdir support) and a common repository format that's easy to setup. .hc On Mar 12, 2007, at 11:52 AM, Kyle Klipowicz

hello everyone yes, netpd has a built-in system to keep netpd-patches updated. each patch and each abstraction is tagged with a message-box anywhere in the patch containing [version X.X.X(. each netpd-patch or -abstraction also can have a subpatch called [pd abslist]. the names of the used abstrac

I haven't used Net-Pd that much, but doesn't it use a sort of system to keep patches up to date? ~Kyle On 3/12/07, Stephen Sinclair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > what if you could refer to abstractions using URLs? a caching system > could take care of reducing the need to be connected at all time

Re: [PD] apt get for abstractions

what if you could refer to abstractions using URLs? a caching system could take care of reducing the need to be connected at all times. something like ZeroInstall for example. or perhaps using Java-style class paths, especially if URLs could be included in the class path. would this lead to very

I think this would be very useful. It should be as easy to set up as possible, some kind of minimal setup based on HTTP like basic apt-get repositories. Eclipse's repository format is worth checking out. I think we should build it in Pd for maximum portability and maintainability. Pd pro

Sure, But such a system should be as portable as Pd. Such a system should be in C, I guess, for maximum portability. Like APT, I find the pear package system very nice too. It would be very easy to adapt, but it is in PHP. It uses XML to store informations about the files hierarchy. Marc Lavallée

2007-03-11 Thread adam armfield
following on from the ongoing debate about bundles for patches with many abstractions, I had the idea for an apt-get style system, where someone who wants a patch can enter a command & get all necessary abstractions at the same time... __
