would be great if you would work out of the CVS and add some

the rest of the code is inside the package.
For example, your AppMain.tcl and the shell script that you use to
create the help nav: these should be checked into packages/darwin_app
in the Pd CVS. Any files that are needed to generate this package
should be checked into packages/darwin_app. Then others will be able
to build the package themselves and even develop it further, fix bugs,
etc.
Then, if all of the files are in CVS, a Makefile can assemble the whole
package automatically. This will make future releases much, much
easier.

It would be good to have this all done from
packages/darwin_app/Makefile, since that's the Makefile that
assembles the Pd.app that I created.it shouldn't be too difficult, you just need to choose a reference Tcl
/ Tk installation that includes a package with the embedded
frameworks.Help->Pure Documentation needs to be figured out. The patches that
are included in the Pd.app are a good workaround, but I think in the
long run, we should figure out something that would be easier to
maintain. But perhaps having all of the docs put into a navigatible
system of patches would be a good idea, kind of like Pd hypertext.
But it would add to the amount of maintenance that would need to be
done.actually those ones are in part automated with a shell script. but I
admit it's more of a workaround for now. I think I've seen something
similar in jMaxThis shouldn't be too hard to do. Each instance of Pd.app (Wish
Shell.app wrapper for the pd process) could keep track of the pd
-nowish PID, then make sure to kill it when it exits.well currently it quits the (sub)process, the problem is when it
crashes.The Tcl exceptions could be used to catch crashes, etc. (if they are
anything like Java exceptions, I haven't really looked into them).is it included as standard? that'd be great
