[PD] [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] Extending Vanilla (was Cyclone help patches & issue list)

[Alessio Degani]

I'm with Dan,

First of all, we need a svn/git/... repository with working 
(multi-platform??) Makefiles. Then, we have to fix the help files with a 
common style.

Only after that we can start to think how to distribute/install them on 
pd-[vanilla|l2ork].
And stuff like defining metapackages like for example, synthesys, 
filering, reverb, all, ... comes after.

To Jonathan: Yes... pd-extended is very useful... and that's why we are 
chatting about "extending" vanlilla. The main concern about pd-extended 
is that is "apparently" non maintained anymore (please tell me if I'm 
wrong!), and the core i synched to an old version of pd! A non 
maintained software, IMHO, means a dead software...

Cheers

Alessio
