Bugzilla Bug 280845

bug 173467 is the tracker for tcl-8.5. every bug has been fixed, except one
which is going for removal, or to be fixed with a patch already sent to
bugzilla.

Tcl/Tk 8.5 has reached a stable level. Moreover all the development of new
features happens in Tcl/Tk 8.6.

Have you made sure that all packages that are in stable will build/work with
this version?

test report of mine coming soon, hang on...

obviously not all stable pkgs work with tcl/tk 8.5, but I fixed any tcl-8.5
related bugs (every inherent bug gets added to tcltk 8.5 tracker bug 173467),
so there are some packages to stabilize which I have marked:

$ grep -i stab.*ze tclpkg
dev-tcltk/tls-1.5.0-r1 OK [STABILIZE]
net-misc/suite3270-3.3.9_p12:tcl OK [STABILIZE]
sci-electronics/magic-7.4.46-r1 OK [STABILIZE] just found issue and fixed!

perhaps other, which can be found on the tcltk 8.5 tracker bug 173467

do you want to me file stabilization bugs for all those pkgs, or you can just
assume they are implied by this bug? :)


some other pkgs couldn't even reach the tcl8.5 test, because of other build
failures of various nature; probably I should report bugs for them, but I
couldn't say nothing now for them wrt this bug/enh.

packages blocking >tcl/tk-8.4 should be masked.

do you think me/we/you can proceed with this plan? what's next action?

seems there are more pkgs to stabilize on the tk side

$ grep -i stab.*ze tkpkg
app-text/namazu-2.0.19-r1:tk OK ((STABILIZE)) amd64 keyword missing in previous
ebuilds
dev-lang/yap-5.1.3-r2:tk OK ((STABILIZE)) amd64 keyword missing in previous
ebuilds
dev-python/pythong-2.1.5-r1 OK_BUILD ((STABILIZE)) missing amd64 on previous
pkgs
dev-tcltk/blt-2.4z-r5 OK [STABILIZE]
dev-tcltk/ck-8.0-r2 OK [STABILIZE]
dev-tcltk/itk-3.3.1_pre20090417 OK [STABILIZE]
dev-tcltk/tix-8.4.3 OK [STABILIZE]
dev-tcltk/tkimg-1.3.20081202 OK [STABILIZE]
dev-tcltk/vtcl-1.6.0-r1 OK ((STABILIZE)) missing amd64 keywork in previous pkgs
sci-electronics/gnetman-0.0.1_pre20060522-r1 OK ((STABILIZE)) missing amd64
keyword from previous pkgs
sci-electronics/xcircuit-3.4.30 OK [STABILIZE]

but note, where I marked ''((STABILIZE)) missing amd64 keywork in previous
pkgs'' it really doesn't need stabilization, but I could only test with the
~arch version (btw is a chance to get some newer pkgs stable, wherever
possible)

(In reply to comment #4)
> seems there are more pkgs to stabilize on the tk side

 It would be great to have separate bugs open blocking this one here.  Or a
definitive list for inclusion in package.keywords.

newt needs 8.5.7, not the other way round.
