I think this has been asked before, but why isn't sssad included in
pd-extended? It's stable and I've been using it for quite some time

Apart from being packaged as its own Debian package (which is a new
requirement) it fulfills all requirements for pd-x-inclusion listed on
the puredata.info page.

Maybe the question should better be: Why was sssad removed from
pd-extended after 0.41 and still is?

I think it's the maintenance issue. I can understand the need to flush everything out, then start adding the solid, maintainable externals back in ... although I think sssad is both solid and maintainable already.

but I know, that many people would love to use sssad or already do but
hate it when they have to install a single-object library manually into
their pd-extended install.

Are there any objections to me following Hans' guide and adding it? What about the Debian packaging issue? I suppose I can do that too if needed ... as well as volunteer to be the maintainer. I want to push my patches into pd-ext soon anyway.
