Hi,

I have a question about externals that are not found on deken. For example the [boids] external whose code is in the pd extended repo on gitlab [*], and it is not available for the latest macos.

What would be an acceptable way get it to deken? I can naturally get it, compile it, and use it. But, I want to know about best practices to making it available to others. Do I just do it myself and "claim" maintenance if the license allows it? do I ask someone else? to whom do I ask? what's the workflow if any?

Cheers,

f
