You have to be logged in to be able to edit a wiki page.

One major goal of Pd-extended was to have the exact same package on  
all platforms.  For a lot of things, that is already true, but there  
is much work to be done...

I am not sure I understand what you are asking here.  In terms of  
sources, they are not included in Pd-extended.  You need to get them  
from CVS.

Here's what you need:

There is a script already, its in CVS and is referenced in that wiki  
page.

Yeah, ich kann es lesen, its just that I am not familiar with the  
error messages.  For me, a lot of this is just seeing the same text  
pattern again and again rather than actually reading the message.

M == Modified.  Delete those, and refersh them from CVS, then try  
patching again.

There has been many discussions on this topic.  Having individual  
files is much more flexible.  It probably takes up more space, and  
undoubtedly there are other issues with it, but its the best solution  
for Pd-extended.  Plus its how Java manages its classes, so there is  
a good precedent for it.
