Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:
We would not have Gem, PDP, PiDiP, hid, ann, pdogg, streaming, theora/ speex/mp3 externals, etc. if we did not allow externals to use non- core libraries.
Nowhere did I say that. All I'm suggesting is, that a std-library of externals and abstractions must be self-contained: It must include everything that is needed to run it (except Pd). Add to that that ideally this lib would also run on pure-Pd, abstractions must use only core objects or externals from the std-lib itself, nothing else.
Note that I don't see the std-lib as a pd-distribution itself. It's not meant to be a duplicate of what pd-extended does. Pd-extended could include the stdlib, but not define what the stdlib is.
Instead of arbitrary restrictions, we should make an
environment where people can count on having the libraries they need
in the same place on every machine. This is a key thing about Java,
Debian, etc. and this is the core purpose of Pd-extended.
I don't think a std-library can be restricted to one pd-distribution only. This would be the same as if Python's os-module would only run on Debian. Wouldn't be a problem to me, but it would be for many others.
Ciao
