Thanks, do both versions of the compiled externals have the identical filename extension then?
no.
(Sorry, replying to myself here)
this seems the case, at least for apt-packaged zexy: $ dpkg -L pd-zexy | grep .pd_linux /usr/lib/pd/extra/zexy/zexy.pd_linux
...is the only file found.
$ dpkg -L pd-zexy | grep "zexy\." /usr/lib/pd/extra/zexy/zexy.linux-amd64-64.so /usr/lib/pd/extra/zexy/zexy.pd_linux
Thanks for the correcty grep syntax.
Aja,pd-zexy 2.4.1-4 on my Debian stable system provides only /usr/lib/pd/extra/zexy/zexy.pd_linux but pd-zexy 2.4.3-1 on testing does contain both precisions then, brilliant!
So the bottom line might then be: Deken developers should ideally package both single and double precision binaries of their externals into the same package.
Deken users should note that newer version packages uninstall older version packages, as this might remove a single precision package when installing a double precision package with a higher version number (unless that feature is disabled in dekens preferences).
right?
best, P
