I think that ~/Library/Pd and /Library/Pd would serve that purpose well. Then when the next 'official' release come out, you can replace /Applications/Pd.app with the one you download, and your own binaries will still be in ~/Library/Pd.
Why not create a PD folder in ~/Library/Application Support/ and /Library/Application Support/ ? If I am not wrong, that's the folder that Apple provides for third-party applications to put their resource/support files into.
I haven't read the Apple docs about this yet, but I plan on it. But there are two reasons not to use "Application Support".
- its looong!
- abstractions currently can not be loaded from a path that has a
space in it.
But Apple might have some compelling reasons to use it, and eventually, abstractions will be able to be loaded from paths with spaces.
