Re: TclTk update request


This has been discussed on this list recently -- the problem is manpower. Current tcl/tk development for cygwin is happening on the insight mailing list:
insight@sources.redhat.com

Some requests to whoever is maintaining the tcltk package for cygwin:

1. Could it be updated to the latest V8.3.4 build instead of continuing with V8.0? With Mumit Khan's patches (as linked from the cygwin home page) V8.3.4 builds fine with Tix and BLT - but itcl/iwidgets need adding in.

2. Python tkinter library could then be updated to link to V8.3.4 - in fact it would probably be good to have this as a separate subpackage from the main python to avoid dependency of whole python package on tcltk.
(Perl:Tk could also be added?)

3. gdb V5.2 can be built for cygwin with dependency on tcltk package rather than reinstalling all the tcltk files again - (the current test gdb package is V5.1.1 and includesTclTk V8.3.2).

All this would make the whole thing more useable and up to date.

Thanks
