Package: pd-libdir Version: 1.9-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
pd-libdir does not integrate nicely with Pd anymore. Prior to Pd-0.47, Pd would iterate over all the loaders, and each loader would then search all the paths as it deemed appropriate. However, since Pd-0.47, Pd iterates over all search paths and calls each loader on each path. This is implemented by a slight change in API semantics when calling the loaders: the loader callback got a 3rd argument 'path'; if non-NULL the loader is supposed to only search this path; if no loader has been succeeded, all of the loaders are again called, this time with a path=NULL (so they know that this is the final round and they can search additional resources; the loader should NOT iterate over the pd-searchpath again). anyhow, pd-libdir currently ignores the 'path' argument, thus breaking the new loader call semantics. also, if pd-libdir cannot find a given library, it will keep searching for the library in all search paths for each search path, thus doing N*(N+1) checks (while 1 would have been enough) please fix the loader, so it respects the 'path' argument. PS: using important since pd-libdir is a core pd-package, thus effecting many systems. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages pd-libdir depends on: ii libc6 2.24-8 ii puredata-core [pd] 0.47.1-3 Versions of packages pd-libdir recommends: ii puredata-import [pd-import] 1.3-3 pd-libdir suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
