hi martin,
in the process of getting numerous pd-libraries into debian (and thus
ubuntu and other debian derivatives), we stumbled upon a small issue
in
your set of objects.
as things are right now, there are no "upstream releases" of your
libraries; in SVN they are organized (as you are well aware) into a
mrpeach/ folder with various task-specific sub-folders.
historically, Pd-extended used the mrpeach/ folder as an
organizational
unit. (install everything you created into a flat extra/mrpeach/
folder)
however, since your libraries don't have anything in common apart from
you as the author, i would prefer to package them into separate
packages, according to the tasks they are associated with (at least
those where there i a notion of 'library' as is the case with your
net-,
osc-, cmos- objects, so people can install "pd-osc" if they need OSC
communication (and don't need your net/ implementation, as they intend
to send OSC over serial/slip).
the rough idea is to have packages for
- - OSC
- - net
- - cmos
- - midifile
- - binfile
- - slip
- - str
- - oscillators
- - tabletools
- - which
the debian packages would be named accordingly, with "pd-" prepended
(or
"pd-mrpeach-" for generic names like "tabletools" and "oscillators",
in
order to distinguish them from other libraries that could claim those
generic names with equal rights)
eventually i'm planning to have a "pd-mrpeach" meta-package that would
depend on all these sub-packages and provide a compatibility layer for
older (pd-extended) patches.
nothing is required from you to actually _do_ (e.g. code-wise), but as
hans has correctly pointed out, it would be good to know your feelings
about all this.
cheers

Since there is no distinct pd-osc upstream, there are no separate
releases from the upstream author only svn, and the only circulating
release is the is the 'mrpeach' library included in Pd-extended, I
think
we need to first get this stuff organized upstream before uploading a
package to Debian. Have you talked with Martin Peach about it? I
think
it makes sense to have pd-osc, but I think the upstream author should
determine how the code is released. The 'mrpeach' thing could be
dropped, for example, if Martin wants it that way.
