Hallo!
Hello, anyone could tell the meaning of "flatspace"?
As far as I understand it now, it is an "older" buildsystem, made by Günther. The new one is the one with the libdir format.
However, there are still lot's of externals in the flatspace, which are not in the libdir format yet (especially one-object externals).
And there are also many doubled externals, which are in the libdir and the flatspace. I just tried to delete the doubled objects, but we should discuss if this is useful and doesn't break other things ...

Ah thank you Georg, that's clear, I've got it now, here's another explanation of the birth of the "flatspace" format: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2006-09/042190.html.

Without any clue I guess there is a good reason why external sources have moved into another format, may I ask why?

I don't know if I understand you correct - but the source of the externals did not move, only the buildsystem changed (the "packaging" of all the externals ...)

That is correct. Instead being installed straight into "pd/extra",
these are installed into "pd/extra/flatspace" as a step to making
everything namespaceable (is that a word? ;)

At least it's possible to get the meaning of "namespace" with no difficulty:

i resisted, but since we've gone there now, i'll also add that Edward Tufte is a big fan of the multi-to-uni dimensional definition of that word too :)

Cheers to that! It may be giving away my youth, but I read "The Boy Who Reversed Himself" by William Sleator when I was about 11, and it changed me forever.
Edwin A. Abbot's little book is a great quick read, with some juicy commentary about Victorian Britain as well as extra-dimensional space.
