hy. tcl and tk should have virtual package names, so a program must not depend on one tcl package, but can use whatever is present.
of course there can be packages, that will only run with one version of tcl, so we can provide several tcl and tk packages. but debian native packages should use the newest version available. examples : exmh depends on tcl74|tcl75 and tk40|tk41 libtclobj depends on tcl74 and tk40 axe depends on tcl74 tkps depends on tk40 and tcl74 expect depends on tcl74 addressbook depends on tcl75 and tk41 these programs should use the newest version. i know, that tcl versions are incomptatible, but every maintainer should at least try, if the package will work with the newest version or patch it (if it's a small thing). (example: i'm running addressbook with tk42/tcl76 and everything is ok). problem: "tcl" and "tk" were used ago as package name, and they cannot be used as virtual names. solution: "tclsh" and "wish". regards, andreas -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
