How about a machine-friendly interface for
searching and downloading
plugin tarballs (or references to distribution packages) so one could
write a tool like CPAN for LADSPAs? An automated way to download and
install plugins would be really useful if it could be integrated into
software like Om, Ardour, JACK-rack etc. Scenario: you try to load a new
Om patch that you downloaded from the net, you get the message "You
don't have the 'foo' plugin, do you want to install it?", click Yes,
and
a few seconds (or minutes) later the plugin is installed and the patch
is loaded.
AFAIK most plugins don't have any dependencies. Is there anything wrong
DSSI ones may do. It depends what toolkit their GUI was written in.
