but you can extract it with winCVS ( I can't exactely remember how, but something like you have to set the cvsroot to the local directory you expanded the files to) Michael
Thats true, but still there is the question why someone wants to do this. I can imagine two reasons:
- you want to download and install all the externals in one go. (This is actually one goal of the CVS, to have everything together). The problem is that this should be done based on releases, and not using the tarball. (It was a bd idea to put the link there).
- there is a feature in CVS that is missing in the current release of the external (THis means we shoudl hurry up to make a release as soon as possible)
We, (the developers that put the code into CVS), have still to find a way to work on this together. If we are not able to do this in the long run, the CVS is pretty useless.
Also, it would be really great if those who are working on OSX, or those who encounter problems with compiling/using the externals could participate actively, by either becoming a developer, or by asking at the list to add there changes.

hmm, the tarball is a service from sourceforge, so I think that can not be changed, sorry. (I didn't know that this is actually a tarball of the CVS tree).
It is not very useful to download the tarball anyhow, it would be much more useful to checkout from the CVS directly (at least in the state the CVS is in currently).

Hi all,
The tarball snapshot at pure-data.souceforge.net is a bit strange. All the file-names have an additional ",v" suffix, and there is CVS info in the files themselves. That is not very useful. Can something be done, so that the tarball has just the normal files?
