Executive summary: Steve enhanced the test suite, and Joe hasn't gotten around to updating tcldom/src to match it yet. If tcldom/src compiles, links, and installs without any hard errors, then you can (probably) safely ignore test suite failures. As Steve has mentioned, tcldom/src holds a separate code base, which is _supposed_ to be compatible with the main TclDOM distribution, but might not be due to different maintenance schedules. In this case, tcldom/src has not had any significant changes since the 2.0 release, so whatever worked before should continue to work now. (I don't yet know what's new in TclDOM 2.2, so new code written to take advantage of the 2.2 API might not work with the package provided by tcldom/src). --Joe English jen...@fl... |
