That looks pretty handy. A few suggestions:
- We no longer need quotes around COMMENT
No prob - I started with an old port and forgot about that.
- The docs should go in ${PREFIX}/share/doc/tcltutor
They're not exactly docs but the actual lessons for the tutor.
I'll put them in ${PREFIX}/share/doc/tcltutor unless there's an opinion
otherwise.
Also, Where did the patch come from, and why do we need it?
The patch accomplishes the following:
- Changes 'exec wish' to 'exec wish8.5' so one does not have to type '$
wish8.5 /usr/local/bin/tcltutor"
- The sourceHome and lessonHome are changed so that tcltutor does not have
to be in the same directory as its lessons and support files.
- The initial window geometry was enlarged since the some of the buttons
were scrunched, perhaps due to the font problem.
- The ability to record an 'activity log' and mail it to the author was
disabled with prejudice.
- A bug in the color chooser dialog was fixed.
Why do the fonts look so awful? I thought Tk 8.5 was supposed
to make everything look beautiful ;)
I think some of the font defaults have changed in 8.5 - this may uglify more
than one program.
Once this port settles I'll inform the author of the relevant issues.
btw, you can always choose your fonts - tcltutor saves your settings. ;)
I'll post updates for the various Tcl stuff soon enough ... got some
non-computer things to do today.
