"puredata" provides pd-vanilla, and nothing else. > Puredata-core isn't meant to provide vanilla puredata, but only the pd > library, so people will have to install core+gui+doc to get vanilla, > which may be fine. > I don't see any (meta-)package labeled "*-vanilla" in Debian repo, so I > suppose it wouldn't be the right way of doing. because Debian's "puredata" package always provided vanilla, there is no need to add yet another family of packages. > The idea behind also was to keep "vanilla" and "extended-like" well > separated rather than providing a single package which is a mix of both. i don't follow. "puredata" _depends_ on core+gui+doc+extra+dev, which is what you get if you download the upstream tarball of Pd (aka "vanilla"), and install it. if you and your package manager decide that you also want to install "recommend"ed packages by default, then you get a bit more (e.g. Gem). this is _your_ decision. nothing in the packaging of "puredata" forces you to install "gem" (or any other non-vanilla external) if your package manager forces you to install "recommend"ed packages, please file a bug-report for your package manager or use a different one. ghm,adsr IOhannes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk7xnQAACgkQkX2Xpv6ydvR+HQCdHR8JpWfN8MgCPfXAjQ6oijQs VgAAoN3s7a0GwNw75aczBAtK0sx0h8QS =Ke6v -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
