[PD-dev] modular pd-extended - when release?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

 From my point of view, I plan on making the 0.43 release of Pd- 
extended all split out into separate debian packages.  You can see my  
progress here:
https://launchpad.net/~eighthave/+archive/libdirs

The sticky parts going forward are going to be the pd-zexy package. Pd- 
extended needs zexy built as a libdir, but in the pd-zexy package its  
built as a single-file-multiple-object library.  If pd-zexy can't  
change, then I guess I'll need to do pdextended-zexy or something like  
that, which would be a shame.

Here are the libraries currently included in Pd-extended that I am  
planning to no longer support.  Anyone is free to pick up supporting  
them if they want to.  Personally, I think if someone wants to pick up  
supporting them, they'd be better maintained as libraries outside of  
Pd-extended: memento, rradical, pixeltango, ext13, cxc, mjlib,  
moonlib, motex, gyre, puremeasurement, sigpack, keyboardkeys, la- 
kitchen, toxy.
