Contains the following extensions and applications: ctext, mktclapp, snit, tclsyslog, tkcon, tkpiechart, wcb.


davidw Why don't you see about integrating those into Debian proper? tkcon is already in unstable/testing, in any case.

daapp Because I am not a debian developer and I have not a lot time of to support these packages in testing and unstable. I use only stable. An because I can't find Policy for Tcl packages :(

davidw It doesn't take much time to 'support' them. You just make new versions as they become available. There is not 'policy' as such. Just look at the other packages and copy that style.

Packages available from official repositories

As the extensions are packaged separately it would be useful to have a list of cross references. This would help developers used to ActiveState TCL able to quickly set up their Debian environment.

First column is the option to tcl command package require, second column is the debian package as given to apt-get install, and third column is a description. This list is meant to track the unstable release policy.
