[PD] Question about [mrpeach/midifile] status

[Dan Wilcox]

Howdy David,

after Martin Peach's unfortunate passing, his externals have been mirrored on GitHub in the pd-externals group:

https://github.com/pd-externals/mrpeach <https://github.com/pd-externals/mrpeach>

These externals are used by a great number of people and I do not considered them abandoned.

I would suggest opening an issue on this repo and continuing the discussion there.
