I see.

TCL/TK: 1) newer versions: tcl 8.5.6 --> 8.5.7, tk 8.5.6 --> 8.5.7 2) include both cygwin port patches and applicable debian ones 3) follow debian lead for installing private header files in a separate subdirectory, and update the fooConfig scripts to properly specify the _SRC_DIR to point to those private directories 3) split up into multiple packages each ITCL/ITK/IWIDGETS 1) separate source distributions, instead of all built as a bundle a la' cygwin-ports "itcl32" -- partly because the "32" moniker did not uniformly fit them 2) the separate source packages no longer follow a lockstep version numbering sequence. They are allowed to version bump at their own pace. So: itcl 3.2 --> 3.4b1 itk 3.3 --> 3.3 (with patches) iwidgets 4.0.1 --> "4.0.2" (basically a CVS snapshot which includes TEA support, as is used by Fedora) 3) Also, each project is split into multiple installation packages (main, runtime, doc, devel, [demo]) Arguably, the 10 main and runtimeX[.Y] packages should be merged into simply 5 runtimeX[.Y] packages for each of these five groups. 4) include both cygwin port patches and applicable debian ones (in one case, gentoo) I could send them to you offline if you would like to knock them into slightly better shape for cygwin-ports, as a "halfway house" before the main cygwin distribution? -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
