So here's my proposal for the layout: pd (provided by puredata, desiredata, pd-devel, etc.) pd-doc (this may be unclear, its more like built-in help than standalone docs) pd-externals ("abstractions" and "externals" with no deps) pd-audio (anything needing extra sound libs) pd-video (virtual package for all video packages).
Where do you put externals that have deps that are not audio deps and that are not video deps?
Do you have a suggestion?
However I don't see this as being a real problem. pd-externals may have some extra dependencies, and there aren't that many externals yet which use a lot of special stuff. Some networking code may come to mind or externals which communicate with special hardware like hid. I'd just put these in pd-externals anyway, unless they, like Gridflow, pdp or Gem, form a kind of application itself build on top of Pd.
A bigger issue could be platform specific externals. Okay, Framesteins seems deadish, but for example the alsa-externals by IOhannes won't run on OS-X or MS-Windows.
