Hi list,
using the amazing Debian packages of Pd and am puzzled to find that the following two paths seem owned by the same package puredata-core and seem to exist twice:
peter@computer:~$ dpkg-query -S /usr/lib/puredata/doc/7.stuff puredata-core: /usr/lib/puredata/doc/7.stuff peter@comouter:~$ dpkg-query -S /usr/share/puredata/doc/7.stuff puredata-core: /usr/share/puredata/doc/7.stuff
Is this intentional?
yes. does this create any problems for you?
Not really. I just prefer to have files and folders once on my system if that's sufficient for proper operation as it is easier to remember and maintain for me.
I guess you are trying to have Pd's docs in its traditional location in /usr/lib/pd and in a Debain-style /usr/share/doc path.
I am also surprised there is /usr/lib/puredata/extra and / /usr/lib/pd/extra which are owned by different packages respectively. Why not make /usr/lib/puredata equal to /usr/lib/pd?
Thank you for the packaging work, this is amazing! best, P
