I think tDOM is more widely used. I started packaging it in wip a while
ago.

Hi Moritz,
It was fixed last night (simple patch):
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~marino/misc/diff.textproc_tcl-expat.txt



graphics/tkpiechart v5.4 (no maintainer)
    Fails in installation (where it builds), "can't find package stoop"
    Cause unclear, probably resolved in configuration stage

stooop is an object system for Tcl. It's part of tcllib. Can you see if
adding a dependency to tcllib does the trick?

Remember how we got here:
1. It's working currently
2. The message comes after updating tcl84 to tcl85.

The stooop dependency is fine, it's a misleading message.


Anyway, I'd say updating Tcl is important work, thanks for doing this.


A lot of the packages on yesterday's status report have been fix or have more information. I'll post an update shortly. From what I'm seeing, there's no need to keep both tcl84 and tcl85 versions. It's a lot of extra work for little gain.

John
