I am interested in the result rather than how it is implemented. If that was a bad idea, are there any others? I think it is important that the Pd packages work well after installing without having to tweak it, including having glitch-free audio after installing. It works like this with many programs on Mac OS X, I think it should work the same on GNU/Linux. > The rlimits approach will soon be common knowledge among all Linux > audio users anyway. Not everyone wants to learn about this stuff. Some people just want to install Ubuntu Studio and make music. It would like to support that impulse. I think that is possible without restricting people from getting deeper. .hc > > Adding a note to /usr/share/doc/puredata/README.Debian would be > something to consider, of course. > > Ciao > -- > Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__ > > _______________________________________________ > PD-list@iem.at mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/ > listinfo/pd-list ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Mistrust authority - promote decentralization. - the hacker ethic _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
