I've done a 7.5/4.1 port too for similar reasons, except I was tired of maintaining the shared library support. I've done a bunch of interim and early tk/tcl ports and was just tired of carrying on the shared library stuff because it was the biggest effort. However, if other people are going to do the full ports when the time is more appropriate, then it's perfectly reasonable for me to not get in the way of their work. Best. Paul .

When it goes to 7.5 (and I don't think so yet) I will do that one, if I don't get pre-empted. I just didn't want to see the current 7.4 port get moved from supporting shared libs to not supporting shared libs. Rob Snow did a nice job, I don't want to take credit for that. I learned from what he did. As I said, I have a 7.5a2/4.1a2 port done (here). I did it cause I wanted one that installed as tcl/tk, not tcl7.5/tk4.1. I turned it into a port, then saw that it didn't pass all the tests, so I won't release it yet. If anyone wants the diffs still, I would be glad to mail them out. Understand it will stomp on any 7.3/3.6 level tcl/tk that you might have installed. I wanted that, you might not. ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!
