Pd-extended 0.42.5 is done, so it'll stay as is.
Ok. Since you called, I thought I'd report what I think needs to be fixed.
Pd-extended 0.43
will work with /usr/lib/pd. For 0.43, only libs that require Pd- extended will be installed into /usr/lib/pdextended.
Sounds good, though I still don't understand why not fixing it right now.

Yeah, makes sense also to me.
and ignores /usr/lib/pd.
Why?
You seem to ignore the fact, that there are pd-libs around in the
wild, that are _not_ part of Pd-extended and thus would be very useful to be used together with Pd-extended, but unfortunately do not work out-of-the-box, because pdextended doesn't look in /usr/lib/pd.I'd propose to add /usr/lib/pd as the last path in the search order,
so that it wouldn't interfere with everything installed in /usr/lib/pd-extended. I don't see how this would hurt with the current behaviour. When having pd-motex installed and using some
objects from motex, still /usr/lib/pd-extended would be used (instead of /usr/lib/pd, where pd-motex installs to). Nevertheless, [wiimote] from pd-wiimote which installs to /usr/lib/pd would be found.Please enlighten me, if I am overseeing something and my proposal
would actually break something.Roman
The next step for Debian packaging for Pd-extended is having each lib in its own package, and then making a 'pdextended' package which provides 'pd' and is just the core. That will then look in /usr/ lib/pd.
