i just wrote to the mysterious package investigation team at area 53/74 and then - after a longer search for information about packages - i finally found this:

https://docs.cycling74.com/max7/vignettes/packages

so this gives a clue about locations and about the preview picture but due to my complete ignorance i still dont understand how an upload for the package manager has to look like.

not for ths first time in my life (including my/our own computers and installations) i stumble across the folder structure of the various max versions from 4-7 and notice that we still dont have a folder for /abstractions. in my main max machines my custom abstractions usually go into

/externals, because - despite that it is a different file format - that location descibes best how abstractions are used. in /patches they seem to be somehow misplaced....
