Re: [Tcllib-devel] Tcllib: Adding a module for an enhanced procedure and argument management

[Andreas D. <an...@dr...>]

Dear all,
Thanks for your first feedbacks to my initial mail.
I will try to answer all your questions in this single mail:

1) License: I have already planned to use the BSD license for this package

2) Tklib for the form generator: It may be wise to separate the 
graphical parts from the procedure and argument manager and to place 
them into Tklib. There is certainly no problem to use inside the Tcllib 
packages other packages from Tklib, isn't there? The core TEPAM package 
would also relay on the form generator package in Tklib.

3) There is already a comprehensive regression test in place for the 
non-graphical part of TEPAM. Nevertheless, in case Tcllib is using an 
own test framework, this regression test has certainly to be adapted to 
the Tcllib test framework. For the graphical part of the TEPAM package 
there is no regression test for the moment available.

4) It should be fine to write the command reference documentation in the 
doctool format. Nevertheless, I am not sure if this format is adequate 
for a tutorial (like the TEPAM introduction) that will also include some 
pictures.

5) Concerning the sub-commands, TEPAM is basically providing an easy way 
to declare them. Sub-commands can be declared individually each from the 
other with individual procedure bodies like normal procedures, and TEPAM 
will then call the right procedure body in function of the selected 
sub-command. The attached document provides an example of the 
declaration and usage of sub-commands with TEPAM.

I hope I could answer your questions.
Best regards,
Andreas Drollinger
