[dropping arc-discuss at opensolaris.org - too early for their input?]

Shiv,

A few general comments:

ARC are not interested in implementation details.  Therefore,
discussion of source directories and makefiles is not relevant
here.  (Also, I think you should limit references to
consolidations to saying "moving from CCD to SFW".)


However, they are very interested in Interfaces, both imported
and exported.

Imported interfaces would include Tck/Tk (reference the Tcl/Tk
ARC case, PSARC/2007/317 Tcl/Tk upgrade to 8.4.14).

Exported interfaces would include: command-line programs installed
by your case (eg /usr/bin/*); libs that users might link against;
man pages & info docs; installed header files.

And all interfaces listed should include a Stability
classification.  I think "Uncommitted" is appropriate here.
Other possibilities are Committed, Volatile and Private.


Also, your case should say exactly what version of Expect you
are planning to integrate.  (I notice we currently have 5.39 in
CCD, but 5.44.1 is available.  Are you planning to bump to the
latest version?)

btw - what is the relationship between Tcl and Expect version
numbers?  Is there a lookup table of which Expect vers. work
with which Tcl vers?
