Because on a unstable system (don't know about potato) the configure scipt
will not detect the 8.3 version correctly. I looked at the source and saw that
this is because it place stuff in a tcl8.3/tk8.3 subdirectory, and configure
cannot handle it.
No problem, we just gie it the argument, it you want to build for another
version of tcl/tk, just remove the lines, or replace them with what you need.
For the official packages we are staying with 8.3, and the package will build
just fine.
Does anyone have a problem with this, then please tell us all, like said
before, i am no tcl/tk specialist, and there may be reasons why tcl/tk 8.3
is not wanted.
Note :
I think we can say that we are slowly approaching freeze time, and as such,
soon we will have to have finalized packages. I hope everything is well, don't
know if doing the binary split before the freeze is worth it, what do you
think ?
