Well, this is now just another unsupported/abandoned library from old
Extended, as the vast majority of those libraries are. So I say you
shouldn't expect much news from it. Maybe you could giver it a shot?

I don't know what you mean about "removing" them... like, from where? Pd
Extended is no more, so it doesn't make sense to talk about removing from
there. So, removing from deken? If some do not work in linux, you can't
expect all versions to go away just because of that... what can you do?
Just leave it there I guess.

Now, Purr Data still has these, as inherited from Pd Extended. I doubt
jonathan is willing to support these, so maybe your question about
"removing" it makes sense in this context...

And I also think spigot~ is quite simple and useless... there are more
powerful objects elsewhere, such as selector~ from the newest cyclone.

cheers
