I'm already kind of doing that with pd-l2ork.
I've revised Miller's
control/audio/ds tutorials. Pd-l2ork has fixed
the crasher bug when
a patch closes itself, so I've got a navigation
toolbar in those
tutorials
that is currently incompatible with
pd-extended/vanilla.
I had no idea. Ico seems to work on his own. It
would be great to
have those bug fixes submitted to the patch tracker.
The patch
tracker is what Miller, IOhannes, Martin Peach, me and
others use for
keeping track of patches that are meant to go into
pure-data core.
He's also working off 0.42 currently, so submitting to the
tracker would be pointless. I think someone was working
to port the changes forward to 0.43, but Ico is currently
on vacation and I'm not sure where they are in the process.
I merged in a couple things from l2ork, like Joe Sarlo's Magic Glass
and inlet/outlet highlighting. More patches would be great to have.
Its not a new project. I see it as a better
representation
of what's currently happening. You are doing
great
work with the PDDP docs, I think we can make the
structure
of that project work better for you. Having
it as a
distinct entity means you are less encumbered by
others when
making decisions about what should happen with
PDDP.
That distinct entity can be either a folder in the
pure-data
SVN, a separate SourceForge project, or whatever
we think is
easiest. I think one of the first two
options would
work well.
I'm happy to do all of the Debian packaging, that
part
would be easy for me.
So what is it you want me to do?
To start with, choose a repository to work out of.
Shall we just
reorganize the doc/pddp folder in pure-data SVN? Then
make that the
home of your PDDP work, and I'll package it for Debian, and
make sure
the new layout works in Pd-extended.
That works. Should it be merged with the current pddp libdir?
No, the 'pddp' lib is a standard Pd library of objects meant to
support documentation. The idea of this chunk is a collection of
reference and tutorials. What if, for now, we make doc/pddp/tutorials
and add 2.control.examples, 3.audio.examples and 4.data.structures
there. Then keep reference patches in doc/pddp for now while we
figure out the best place for them.
It might make sense, for example, to keep the reference patches in the
'vanilla' libdir in externals/vanilla. That's a library of all the
vanilla core objects split out into a library. But its probably not
quite yet time to do this, since that library is only vaguely defined
now.
