Package: blt
Version: 2.4z-9
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
Looks like blt 2.4z can't work with Tcl/Tk 8.6. An easy way to see this is
to run demos included in the blt-demo package. Here are the issues:
1) barchart1.tcl: segfault on exit
2) barchart2.tcl: immediate segfault
3) barchart3.tcl: segfault on mouse interaction with the chart
4) barchart4.tcl: segfault on mouse interaction with the chart
5) barchart5.tcl: segfault on mouse interaction with the chart
6) bgexec1.tcl: segfault on "Stop" button click
7) bitmap.tcl: segfault on any button click
and so on.
This means that we either have to build blt with Tcl/Tk 8.5 (and make sure
that all packages which use blt don't try to use Tcl/Tk 8.6) or we should
port blt to Tcl/Tk 8.6. The problem is that the project upstream isn't active
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/blt/) Last release in 2003, last activity
in CVS in 2010.
There is a 2.5 release from another upstream (https://sourceforge.net/projects/wize/files/),
but this is another discontinued project, so we can't rely on its development.
Moreover, I can't say at the moment if this release really works with Tcl/Tk 8.6.
