Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:
GemLibs is the perfect example. Its a collection of useful libraries which Gem uses. That code is not pd-specific (FTGL, liborb, particle, etc), but are third-party libraries. But the gem devs found it useful to manage that source code in CVS.
Which I find questionable, too, but at least these aren't plugins as dssi/ladspa, and they aren't whole applications like fluidsynth, and they are used as integral parts of Gem.pd_*. So they are similar to the role Portaudio plays in Pd (and Particle seems to be gone from its old URL anyway, so users cannot download it from somwhere else.)
And it comes down to this: what harm is there to importing the sources?
I see the danger of a maintainance nightmare or at least an additional burden for administrators. We didn't even manage to find a clean organization of the pd-related stuff so far and thus we should not try to carry even more weight.
Ciao
