I agree with Peter. The current situation is a mess! We should be using CVS the way it was meant to be used, rather than in a way that defeats its every advantage. What's going to happen when tcl7.6 comes out? Are we going to move tcl7.5.tar.gz.uu into the Attic and create a new 2MB file named tcl7.6.tar.gz.uu? The sources should be imported in their distributed form, onto the vendor branch. Then the necessary patches should be committed as deltas. This is not the same as a port, and it shouldn't be treated like one. -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
