tcl and tk are sep packages thus they get sep dirs ... i find the way it is currently setup to be the 'norm' on distro's ive used Good suggestion, but as we only have one version of tcl, it's not a problem right now. Whenever 8.4 comes out and we get a package for it, we'll handle it then. 8.4 is out and a lot of people who want to use it find it's breaking other packages (which explains why it's still masked). I've written a couple of beta ebuilds for slotted tcl and tk. This will allow everybody to keep the old libraries for backward-compatability, and still take advantage of the new features in the language. TODO: * Write a tcltk-update script that allows the user to switch tcl-tk versions (see opengl-update). * Handle man pages and headers as mentioned in the original description for this bug. * Clean up this hack, possibly using tcltk-update to check for previously installed versions and create symlinks (and possibly move this functionality from src_install to pkg_postinst). I'm still new to writing ebuilds, so there's probably much more room for improvement. Created attachment 21007 [details]
