BL> Hello... A new Tcl/Tk version is out and I want to switch to

BL> I think it makes more sense to have tcl instead of tcl80, tk instead of
BL> tk80 etc. I do not think it is worth the effort to allow for parallel

BL> it makes sense to make a link from wish8.3 to wish. All those packages
BL> will work at once.
BL> Tkman needs a special patch in Tk. I will integrate that as it has been
BL> in tk80 and as I did in tk (version 8.2). There will arise no problems
BL> of this for other applications. (Or not that I know about...)
BL> I will try to make ical, postgresql, pgaccess, tkinfo, tkirc and
BL> probably a few other things I use to work with the updated Tcl/Tk. I may
BL> even check other packages and send-pr trivial changes.
BL> But I am definitely not interested in doing all this work (esp. for
BL> packages I am not using myself) without a very good chance that the
BL> packages make it into pkgsrc. So, what is needed to get the send-pr'ed
BL> changes committed? What would serve as show stopper?
BL> Thanks in advance for opinions.
BL> Bye, Bjoern
