Yeah, that code could be turned into a library then used for the
versioning for this Pd apt-get. The other parts include a common
library/package format (like finishing up libdir support) and a
common repository format that's easy to setup.

I haven't used Net-Pd that much, but doesn't it use a sort of system to keep patches up to date?

what if you could refer to abstractions using URLs? a caching system could take care of reducing the need to be connected at all times. something like ZeroInstall for example.
or perhaps using Java-style class paths, especially if URLs could be included in the class path.
would this lead to very long abstraction names? we could solve
this by providing an "alias" object, so that any abstractions mentioned in a patch that are prepended by the given alias are replaced with the alias' URL. Then the "alias" could be used as the "base address" for the abstraction names.Steve

I think this would be very useful. It should be as easy to set
up as possible, some kind of minimal setup based on HTTP like basic apt- get repositories. Eclipse's repository format is worth checking out.I think we should build it in Pd for maximum portability and maintainability. Pd programmers will always be able to write in Pd. But that's not always the case for C or other programming languages.

Sure, But such a system should be as portable as Pd. Such a system

Marc Lavallée told me about a simple package system that would
be easy to adapt, but I forgot its name. Marc ?Such a topic might fit better in the pd-dev list.

following on from the ongoing debate about bundles for patches with many abstractions, I had the idea for an apt-get style system, where someone who wants a patch can enter a command & get all necessary abstractions at the same time...
