[L2Ork-dev] Future of Purr Data?

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

Hi there, I'm on a quest trying to reorganize and update puredata.info

It has come to my attention that, since mid august, Pd-L2Ork has new
releases as an independent development from Purr Data. On the other hand,
latest release from Purr Data is 2.17 from april, with a pre-release from
august and git doesn't show commits from the last 3 months. I have the idea
this is uncommon, as I remember Purr Data having a more prolific and
active development. So here I ask about its current status, as it seems the
project is dormant.

Are there any plans on keeping up parallel development under Purr Data? If
so, will we have parallel releases?

As for the updates in puredata.info Ivica has updated his Pd-L2Ork page,
see https://puredata.info/downloads/Pd-L2Ork

This is highlighted in puredata.info's main page as a "featured download".
Puredata.info's main page also refers to Pd's main flavours and makes the
distinction between Pd-l2Ork and Purr Data clear.

On the other hand, Purr Data's page on puredata.info is outdated, as it
refers to pd-l2ork as its older and linux only version. It'd be good to
update this page to reflect the current state of affairs, whatever it is.
It seems only the author of that page can edit and I believe it's Albert
Graef. IOhannes, as the site administrator, has superior that no other mere
mortal has to edit the page as a lst resource.

So we just wanna make sure about the status. If, by any chance, Purr Data
is fading away to rest, I would also like clear this up in puredata.info's
main page.

Also, I'm writing an article on Pd and talking about its main forks, I'd
like to get the information right on it too.

Thanks
Alex
