One reason: it takes too long for "bleeding-edgers" to set it up "just to try it". These are the people who would tell their pals, "Hey, this is really cool!" and eventually lean on their sysadmins, etc... It is easy enough to build the basic programs, and Tcl/Tk isn't an problem -- bleeding-edgers are probably running the latest beta anyway :-) The problem is the (many) little modules files that describe the setup for a particular site. I suspect it's an afternoon's work to do *anything*, and more than that to do something decent, or if you are not Tcl-friendly yet. A simple solution -- which I've raised before on this list -- is to gather several sites' modulefiles and shove them under misc/examples/ in the distribution. Then the prospective Modules fiend can just copy *some* set, edit a few pathnames, and be running, albeit imperfectly. Will |
