Bug#795896: ITP: pd-hexloader -- enable Pure Data with funny characters



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: IOhannes m zmoelnig <umlaeute@debian.org>

* Package name    : pd-hexloader
  Version         : 1.6
  Upstream Author : IOhannes m zmölnig <zmoelnig@iem.at>
* URL             : https://get.puredata.info/hexloader
* License         : GPL
  Programming Lang: C, Pd
  Description     : enable Pure Data objects with funny characters

 Pd's default external objects loader maps object names to filenames and
 C-function names.
 Unfortunately both filenames and C-function names have restrictions (like the
 impossibility to include a '/').
 .
 This library adds an escaping mechanism based on hexadecimal encoding that
 allows to write and use objects that would otherwise be impossible.

I intend to maintain this package under the pkg-multimedia umbrella.
