- moved abstractions&extensions&xgui&Framestein into externals
good thing, as long as "abstractions" does not become a subfolder of "externals"... but I would rather have it under a common name that isn't "abstractions" nor "externals".
I suppose that "xgui" and "Framestein" retain their folder, whereas "abstractions", "externals", "extensions" contents are merged together.
- desiredata&pd-devel live beside "pd" (not in a separate branch)
If Thomas hasn't changed his mind, pd-devel is going to be obsolete soon. The latest changes still have to be picked up from there and moved somewhere else, such as sf.net patchtracker and the desiredata branch, but for all practical purposes, there will be no such branch. Let me also say that pd-devel very much deserves to be a branch (rather than a plain folder) because it has rather high mergeability with Miller's branch.
In contrast, for the new DesireData (since dec.2006), I no longer attempt mergeability of any part of it. There's no future goal of keeping any part of the code in sync with pd for any reason whatsoever. All the sync necessary is to be done using automated tests (no matter how much work that is, it's worth it)
- "supercollider" has moved into scripts (i am not sure about this, but
it seems to be the best place, since "bash_completion" is already in there; "supercollider" is no external, it is rather a set of sc3-scripts to ease the use of pd&sc together)
"scripts" is a vague name I'd get rid of. Also, "gripd" contains a high ratio of non-"abstraction", non-"external" files. I don't know whether this ought to be taken into account when categorising projects...
both branches/tags should only be used for:
- releases (+maintenance)
- legacy (discontinued) projects
for quick experimental branches (e.g. if you want to implement a feature but do not want to spill the trunk), i would suggest a 4th meta-directory "experimental", like: /experimental/pd-0.40-kiosk/
I don't know why you want this. You say what people should do according to yourself, but you don't explain what's your motivation for it.
