sorry, i know i could have just emailed hans directly, but the pd list is at the very top of my contacts list :)
question 1) did you remove [sssad] from pd-extended? i don't want to download a new version just to check, as my current version is up and working beautifully.
question 2) how long do you think it will be until the final release of 0.40 extended? i have a huge library of [sssad]-based abstractions that i would like to add. it's all working very well at the moment, and could be added now, but there are a couple more things i'd like to finetune if i have time.
cheers.

Yes, since of the libdir issues. It didn't make sense to include it
if it was unusable.

I think you should try releasing it as a libdir that people can
install themselves. Pd-extended on all platforms is setup to use a
global and per-user folder for installing externals:
GNU/Linux: /usr/local/lib/pd-externals and ~/pd-externals Mac OS X: /Library/Pd and ~/Library/Pd Windows: %ProgramFiles%/Common Files/Pd and %UserProfile%/ Application Data/Pd
.hc
cheers.

why not use the more traditional ~/.pd-externals (or better ~/.pd/lib/extra) ?
users usually don't want to see app-related stuff in their home folders, or they could accidentally remove it.
hans, my library is not externals, its a library of abstractions. lots of building blocks for drums, synths, effects and samplers. i'd really like to include it in pd-extended,a s it contains a lot of stuff that would be very useful for people making music with pd.
Yeah, that makes it a very easy library to manage since you don't
need to build binaries for all of the different platforms.
Installing it will just be a matter of putting the libdir folder in
the right place.

This has been discussed: dotfiles are for configuration, but externals, abstractions and patches are user data like documents in a word processor.
