hi hans & all,
i am working on a small software with wxwidgets and came across a solution for updating the package, the software or the updater via http. it's cross platform and very flexible to my eyes. i am just proposing this solution for pd-extended, that way people who wants to upgrade, just need to launch the "web update" (listing the externals that are new, updated, documentation etc...).
http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/docs/webupdate/
i am sure there's other open source solution out there. pat
This sounds quite useful, will you implement it? It would be
excellent if this could be done on a per-library basis so people can
use it to distribute their own libraries.

i can try to make a prototype, but my C++ is... so so. will report back, if i have something working.

hi everyone,
anyone is interested in co-developing a web updater for pd-extended? i think it would be a nice feature, no more waiting of pd-extended release for bug fix, new externals / abstractions and help files.
let me know, pat

c'est quoi que t'as vraiment besoin de faire en C++ là-dedans ?

hi,
i was proposing this solution, but maybe there are better option. but if we use wxwebupdate (wxwidgets application c++) we need to compile it for all pd-extended platform (debian, ubuntu, mac intel / powerpc). if we don't need to modify this application, the windows version is working (at least on xp).

if anyone is aware of an application for updating a software, cross-platform and open source, speak up.
