Hallo, Lorenz Schori hat gesagt: // Lorenz Schori wrote:
it is certainly not the goal to make things more complicated nor to
include less stuff. what i propose is just to move the externals out
of the package into a more accessible, managable and natural (for osx
users) place, plus to modularize externals a bit (standard/gem/pdp/ flext/...). this way it will be easier to upgrade pd and different
external packages independantly from each other.
But is there a way to handle dependencies as cleanly as e.g. Debian does it? For example you would need different flext packages for pd-devel and ps-MSP, IIRC. Some externals which use private headers may need to be recompiled for a a new upstream version. With a single package it is easy for Mac users to get matching versions of everything.
I guess it would be the best to get in contact with the Fink team and provide regular Fink packages of Pd and Pd externals?
