Tk81 also exists, and maybe should be used, but I think it's possibly best to continue using tk80 over tk81. Maybe not. :) I've not idea what differences exist between the two. > 2) could we flag ports which do not use the "standard" version of > tk/tcl so that one needs to do > > make YES_I_REALLY_WANT_THIS_BLOAT I doubt it. > 3) is there a simple way to list all ports which depend on a given > package (e.g. tk4.1, tk4.2 etc...) again to have an idea of what to > fix. All ports using tk (should) belong to a virtual category corresponding to their version. Eg. All the tk41 ports belong to the category tk41. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken?
