i think it would be interesting to split pd and pd-gui into 2 separate packages (pd recommending pd-gui, pd-gui probably depending on pd (but not necessarily)). right now, you can run pd with "-nogui", but due to all the dependencies in the package, you will have to install X, tk and so on. (correct me if i am wrong, i haven't checked)
i think, this is a good idea. puredata depends on tk8.4 depends on libx11-6 depends on x11-common etc. so yes, in order to install pd now, the whole x window system is installed.
I don't see what's the problem. You don't have to install the whole X Window System, because it's already installed anyway.
Unless you ran out of diskettes.
yo, i think there are some situations (e.g. for a fixed installation), where you know in advance that you'll run pd with -nogui and you setup a fresh computer just for this installtion (e.g. ubuntu server, which has no X per default, afaik). why would you want to install X then, when you won't need it? for this kind of cases (i already had some of them), now you are forced to install the complete X windows system, when you install pd per package manager. it would be nice to have the opportunity to install purely puredata.
