Hi Hans-Christoph,
All of the Pd-extended code doesn't have to be maintained in the Pd repository, but instead stable versions can be imported. This would work well with Gem, PDP, GridFlow, and Thomas' flext, etc. I think this would be a much better setup for externals/grill rather than the current automatic mirror.
could you rephrase that please. I don't seem to understand what you mean exactly with "importing stable versions", or avoiding the "current automatic mirror"
As far as I understand it, externals/grill is hosted in your repository, and then every night, it is mirrored to pure-data CVS. I am saying instead of this setup, it would make more sense to import the code from your repository only when you make a release. No one currently uses branches against externals/grill to track changes to that area, so I see now benefit to having it mirrored in pure-data CVS.
Instead, if stable releases were in external/grill, then we would not have to worry about various inevitable development hiccups when building Pd-extended. I think this would also work well with Gem, PDP, and GridFlow, which are also managed in other repositories.
