Anyway I am still interested in discussing the packaging things in right way. As a long time Debian user, I am a huge fan of packaging things right. I am guessing that a lot of these policies will be very similar, so it'd be good to share the effort. For example, I just created a pd-extended.xml and pd-extended.desktop Free Desktop files to handle the mime type, file association, menus, etc. Those are certainly usable in most distros. .hc Access to computers should be unlimited and total. - the hacker ethic ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Since you are also thinking about packaging, it would be good to open up a discussion about how to handle some things. If you plan on just packaging pd-vanilla, then its easy. If you want to support multiple versions of Pd then it gets a bit more complicated. Basically, libraries/externals can't be installed into 'pd/extra' because then the packages would conflict. I proposed /usr/lib/pd- externals/ as a place to install all packaged externals, so then you could have pd-vanilla, pd-extended, desiredata, etc. installed and they could all use the externals.

I am going to build and maintain RPM of puredata for ALT Linux. It uses git for building RPM packages so I want to pull from existing RCS (git preferrably) repositories of pd-vanilla and pd-extended if any. So my question is: Is there a working git repository of pd-vanilla and/or pd-extended or is the development held in SVN or such? Found only tarball of git repository on Miller Puckette's page (which obviously not exactly what I need) but no other links to git repositories.
