Re: ATTENTION: Tcl/Tk transition


Yaakov,



If I'm understanding this correctly once this change has been
pushed we will be required to start an X server beforerunning
gitk. As someone who uses git and gitk all the time having to
start the X server to run gitk is a pain. I haven't checked this
recently, but in the past the X server was a bit of a resource
hog so my typical pattern is toonly start it when needed and
that's not very often.


I understand the desire to switch to X, but I think this deserves
some thought on how it will effect the general users.

cgf has asked me to take over tcl/tk/expect maintainership and
transition the distro from our Win32/GDI hybrid 8.4 to the *NIX/X11 8.5
currently in Ports.
