Quoting Hans-Christoph Steiner hans@eds.org:
The core idea of libdirs is to have everything put into one
directory, so all have to do to install a library is drop the folder into a directory that is in the path, then the objects, the help files, the examples, and the manuals will all show up in the right place, andthat's exactly how i imagine it.
you'll be able to load the library with [import], and use namespace prefixes.
that's not how i imagine it :-) Pd can do most of this already without the need for [import].
The libdir format does not in any way require the use of [import]/
[declare], so it looks like we are in complete agreement about the
goals of the library format itself. Now it's time to implement
it :) My #1 priority for the rest of this month is to make that
work. Any help is always appreciated.
Some tasks that would be easy to break out:
- writing the help browser to support this
- writing code to scan to build the lists of help files, examples, etc.
- fixing import/declare to fully support this
- fixing the patch-local namespace stuff to fully support this
I'm going to start with the last two.
