I had not envisioned the thing to download and install, but mostely manage adding the lib to the pd command line and scanning and organizing libs..
the best way to get externals is CVS!!! :)
I think the tool would be mostly used to manage all the CVS externals.

would be losely modeled on the MacOS 9 "extensions manager" where one turns off and on checkboxes to turn on and off extensions, and allows you to create sets of these choices "gem & zexy" "usb audio" "internal audio" "asio & gem & cyclone" These could be added as buttons or quick links. Another option, rather than checkboxes, is a two pane system, with a list of all externals on one side, and the current external set on the other, and using drag and drop to create sets.
Ideally it would search for externals automatically, based on
supplied search paths, and be cross-platform (windows/OSX/Linux + sgi?) i don't have the programming skills to code such a beast, but i've been dreaming of an externals-manager that downloads the right version of externals and installs them automatically...
please do it ! :) regards d13b

i see, seems i misunderstood you. cvs is good, and i use it, but apt-get is more comfortable ;) but such a selector still seems a good plan to me.

Ben,
This sounds like what you are driving at here is a way to organize various different .pdrc files. I was just looking at the commandline options, and it seems that there is no way to load a different file (that would be read instead of the default .pdrc). Is this correct? Are .pdrc files a "standard" across all platforms?
