* I will be annoying in the same way as any upgrade of Tk. The installed * header (/usr/local/include/tk.h) is always that of the latest version * and may or may not work with a random Tk extension. The same holds for * /usr/include/tcl.h; we're just lucky enough not to have any programs * in the ports which depend on tcl-7.6/tk4.2 (Tix does work with these * versions). No need to get to that. Let's make this clear: we will not have multiple versions of tcl/tk in the ports tree. We tried it before. It didn't work. Unless Dr. Ousterhout does something about the files overwriting each other (e.g., tk41.h, tclConfig80.sh, etc.), I don't see this situation to change. * I do realize that this is somewhat controversial. Not any more controversial than /usr/include/tcl.... :) * Let's see how long the ports dictator keeps those changes, if the * demonstrations continue. ;-) I'm personally sick and tired of all the ports that insist to rebuild x11/tk41 every time I touch my keyboard. (And I have gigabytes of disk space -- I don't know how you guys can put up with that.) People will need to whine really hard to have this backed out. :| Satoshi
