this is the deken-v0.10

deken-plugin ("Find externals" within Pd)

• compat with TclTk-9.0
• Escape closes the deken window (resp the preferences)
• if the installation directory does not exist, try to create it
• if the installation target is not a directory, ask the user what to do (rather than fail)
• when auto-uninstalling a library on re-install of an architecture that is incompatible with the current CPU architecture, ask the user for confirmation
• fix SHA256 verification on windows (when using the certUtil tool)
• support for zipfs for extracting packages (part of TclTk-9)
• support for tar for extracting zip-packages (so itworks on Windows where the Windows Scripting Host is blacklisted)

accountant's amends

this is the first bug-fix release for deken-v0.9

deken-plugin ("Find externals" within Pd)

• fix crash on some macOS versions of Pd (basically reverting to the old list view in selected cases)
• double-click on the "library" heading now will open/close all library nodes

  • (single-click will only re-sort packages within each library node, but leave the library-sorting itself intact)

deken-xtra-apt-plugin

• fix the deken-extension to also include packages installed via apt-get (on Debian and derivatives)

deken cmdline (create and upload packages)

• fix overriding of destination URL with --destination
• minor fixes in the GPG/SHA256 verification code
• make flags for enabling/disabling certain features consistent
• make wrapper script POSIX compliant

DEK

Plugin

Download the Deken Plugin v0.3.0 and drop it somewhere into Pd's search path.

It will be acticated automatically on next start (unless Pd already includes a newer version)

Cmdline Tool

If you are a developer and want to publish your externals, the deken cmdline tool comes in handy
to create and upload packages.

For a fresh installation follow do:

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pure-data/deken/v0.3.0/developer/deken > ~/bin/deken
$ chmod 755 ~/bin/deken
$ deken
This is your first time running deken on this machine.
I'm going to install myself and my dependencies into ~/.deken now.
Feel free to ctrl-C now if you don't want to do this.

If you already have the cmdline tool installed, just do:

$ deken upgrade

Windows binaries

If you are using Windows, you can grab pre-compiled binaries of the cmdline tools:

• Windows 32bit binaries (self-contained; standalone; ZIPped)
• Windows 64bit binaries (self-contained; standalone; ZIPped)
