So if you think the debian repos are the first place to look, then you would agree
they are the first place I look for a file I am missing, so if someone referred to [arraysize] I'd check if I have it available by:
$ apt-file search arraysize.pd pd-arraysize: /usr/lib/pd/extra/arraysize/arraysize.pd_linux $
then apt-get install pd-arraysize or apt-cache show pd-arraysize if I wanted to see a description or dependency info first.
that arraysize should tell the user they can get the same functionality with expr which is already installed with pd-extended, pd-l2ork, and pd vanilla and therefore more modular, right?
yes .. that info is useful to include - perhaps in the arraysize help file, perhaps in the package description, and your expr example in help is the right one in that context. It is your suggestion that arraysize be deprecated that I do not like.
