That's something you should be taking up with the TCL developers, really. Anyway. A little bit of background. We have lots of version of tcl/tk in the tree (ignoring, for the moment, the localized versions). At present count, 8.0, 8.1-thread, 8.2.x and 8.3.x -- the first stage is to rework those ports that currently use 8.0 to 8.2.x With that done, the 8.0 and 8.1 tcl/tk become singletons, in that nothing depends on them and we'll have two choices as to what to do next: (a) leave the ports lying around for [insert time here], remove tcl80 and tk80 categories, don't accept any new ports based on 8.0 (b) pull out the axe with extreme prejudice, just as happened with tcl76/tk42 a while back There is plenty of work to be done before either (a) or (b) above can even be considered (minor things like the fact there's no tkstep82/83 available, tkstep80 development has stopped for quite some time now, and there's a bunch of ports that depend on it, and thus tcl/tk 8.0) -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX. ade@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
