Of found the holy grail. ;) I personnally think it's all the same problem, ie. an old package system. We *could* switch /usr/src over a package model, using the old scheme, but it wouldn't bring us much good, since the package management tools are primitive. No harm intended at anyone here. In my perfect mad world, I would have 5.0 rolled out using libh with src and ports/packages being seemlessly integrated together. ie. having src as modular packages. Yumm... Of course, that would mean I would have to start coding, thing I said I would do last week and thing I'll say probably next week again. ;) tcl is definitly the least of our concerns for libh, since we have QT and tvision in the way. But since libh is nicely modular, we could simply have a very ugly "text-only" (ie no curses or anything) backend that would be minimal and then libh would only need tcl. I remember seeing a link to a nice 3 way (graphic, curses, text) interface in the archives somewhere... I'm really evil, exposing all this here now. :) > - Jordan A. > From: Paul Richards <paul@freebsd-services.co.uk> > Subject: Re: packagetool.tcl > Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 17:21:53 +0100 > >>Is tcl going to become a standard part of the base OS when libh goes in? -- Antoine Beaupré Jambala TCM team Ericsson Canada inc. mailto:antoine.beaupre@ericsson.ca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-libh" in the body of the message
