From: asami@cs.berkeley.edu (Satoshi Asami) Subject: Re: multiple versions of tcl/tk Of course. "Other versions" were simply not allowed in the ports tree before. Now they need to conform to this guideline. I hardly see this as a loss. :) Umm, actually, I hate to be a dick, but I do see this as a loss. It significantly reduces the pressure put on us to eliminate stale or unmaintained software from ports. The recent tk/tcl shake-out was quite painful, but in the end, we got rid of a lot of useless shit. Paul
