library name conflict

Open umlaeute opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

this is just to inform you that there already is a vbap external for Pd, which has been in wide use (as it was shipped with Pd-extended; and is also packaged for Debian/Ubuntu/...) for a number of years (seems that the initial commit to the Pd respository was in 2002; it got a complete rewrite in 2009).

it seems that your implementation doesn't share anything with this "original" vbap-library apart from the name (and the goal - vector based amplitude panning), making them incompatible. (luckily the object names do not conflict)

in order to keep confusion on frustration of any potential users low, i'd suggest to rename this library to something more fancy.

I didn't intended to "officially" publish this repository. At least not like that. That's why I didn't look for another name. I will add a warning and a link to the original repository in the readme for the Pd users. Does it seems a good compromise for you?
