Hey Anderson,
Its good timing for bringing these up, Günter has stopped maintaining
his official Debian packages, so they are officially orphaned right
now. Anyone here a Debian Developer? I am starting the process of
becoming a Debian Developer (and I'll be helping to run DebCof 2010 in
NYC next summer). We could start a Pd group for packaging all this
stuff.
I think that the 'puredata' and pure:dyne packages would be the best
place to start, then they just need to be tailored to be more Debian-
proper (i.e. moving all non-libs out of /usr/lib/pd, etc.) and work
with the 'pd' virtual package. I
Plus dmotd, IOhannes, me and others are working on rewriting build
system so it should be easier to package the libraries individually.

Hello all,

why do you want to separate them?
how does a "single external" differ (substantially) from a "single
abstraction"? (esp. since .deb takes care of platform-in/dependency)
Well, this is just an ideia and we can decide to use names like
puredata-xxx, where xxx is the name of external/abstraction. What I
want here is to discuss the conventions about packaging things
related to Pd.
do you really want to distribute a _single_ file with an entire .deb
or do you rather mean "library"?
Maybe we can distribute a "library" if those externals/abstractions
are related. But if they are different, with different upstream
authors, with different dependencies and different funcionalities, I
think distribute an entire .deb is better than put it together in a
library.
how does this integrate into the already existing debian
infrastructure for Pd? e.g. with naming schemes like "pd-zexy" or
"pd-gem" (that is: why do we want to reinvent the wheel?)
I am not a debian developer, but I am sure we can talk to them to
upload all packages to the official repo. The naming conventions are
just suggestions and we can use pd-xxx instead of puredata-xxx. The
main idea of this email is to separate pd-extended into some .deb
packages to become more clear and easier to maintain to many
architectures and distribution versions.
bye, global
