* Package name : tclkit Version : 200412.003 (?) Upstream Author : Jean-Claude Wippler * URL : http://www.equi4.com/tclkit.html * License : BSD Description : runtime for .kit Tcl applications (Starkits) Tclkit is a compact, single file executable containing a complete scripting runtime, including a rich scripting language (Tcl), a high-level GUI toolkit (Tk), a powerful object system (IncrTcl), the Tcl Virtual File System (TclVFS), and an embedded high-performance database (Metakit). The Debian version of Tclkit includes also support for threads and the TclX library extension. The tclkit interpreter is used to run Tcl applications distributed in .kit format (Starkits). A Starkit is a wrapping mechanism for delivering a Tcl application in a self-contained, installation-free, and portable way. A Starpack is a special version of Starkit which combines a Starkit with a Tclkit runtime into a single stand-alone executable file. This package includes also the sdx.kit utility which can be used to operate on Starkits and two simple scripts for generating Starkits and Starpacks. Since Debian already provides regular packages for Tcl/Tk this package is not required to run Tcl programs. However there are some cases in which you may want to install tclkit: - running binary Starkits downloaded from the Internet - wrappping a Tcl/Tk application into a single stand-alone binary or executable for distribution on systems where Tcl/Tk may not be available - wrapping a Tcl/Tk application which requires tclthreads or TclX A preliminary version of the debian tclkit package can be found at: http://people.debian.org/~dz/packages/tclkit_200412.003-1_i386.deb -- Massimo Dal Zotto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
