Hans,
Your lastest nightly snapshot is also missing flatspace (but at
least it does build libdir,flib, and toxy). I've had to build libdir, flib, and toxy manually, so I guess there is a workaround for that (in other
words the current svn build script simply ignores building those for
whatever reason). But the absence of flatspace even in your nightly builds is baffling. Is this thing then deprecated in latest svn?
Hey Ico,
For the next release of Pd-extended, I'm trying to open up the process
of what gets included into Pd-extended and make sure there is a clear
maintainer for each library that's included. There are a number of
very old, obsolete libraries in there now, and I don't have the time
to maintain all of the libraries that are currently in Pd-extended.
Recently, we've put a lot of effort in making it easier to make,
distribute and install libraries, these are changes in Pd 0.43 and Pd-
extended 0.42. That means there is less pressure to put libraries
into Pd-extended. So I think its appropriate to make sure only really
stable (i.e. in bugs and in API) libraries should be included in Pd-
extended.
One last piece of this puzzle is that we've been working on getting
lots of libraries into Debian (and therefore Ubuntu, Mint, etc), so
I'm shifting my development focus there, and Pd-extended will be based
on what's in Debian.
This is definitely a moving target, and things are still taking shape,
but that's the general idea of what I'm thinking now. You can see
more here, and I'm going to try to get more organized on this topic too.
