i think one of the questions is, where the name will actually be exposed.
- of course, the webpage (https://msp.ucsd.edu/, https://puredata.info/)
cou use whatever descriptive name to lure the people into downloading
the right package.
yeah, I agree, just like now it has pd 32 bit application and pd 64 bit application over there and they both are named the same. I don't see a good reason to have a different name for the double precision version and I think this is the one that will be the modern and "good one"... the others will be there for compatibility to old externals and patches I guess.
- personally I'm mostly concerned with package managers (and as said
above: all package managers I know of have a way to handle the
architecture (amd64, i386) more or less transparently)
can't say anything about this.
- then there's the binary you run on your computer
I remember that at first, when it was all fresh news, the 64 bit had a different name, now it's the 32 bit that has a different name. We could have a phase where 'double' is marked.
