[Tclxml-users] Has anyone created a tclxml/tcldom/tclsoap/whatever starkit ?

[Larry W. V. <lv...@ca...>]

The starkit distribution format is a great way to distribute a binary
distribution.

Until the creation of an automated binary repository and starkit generation
facility, is anyone maintaining a starkit of the tclxml suite of tools?

I couldn't agree more!

I have discussed this with Jean-Claude, but it has stalled
for lack of a volunteer to do the builds, particularly for
Windows.

Given that Andreas has everything building just fine for the
ActiveState distribution, it should be straight-forward to
get TclXML/libxml2, TclDOM/libxml2 and TclXSLT building
for Kitten... any volunteer(s)?

This *really will* have to have someone other than myself
do the work.]

FWIW the CANTCL code is now very close to being able to do this on 
demand for any set of packages stored in it. Hopefully before the 
conference I'll be able to have a version running with this capability. 
 So, the only effort needed is to ensure that there's a DESCRIPTION.txt 
file for each package and that they're laid out in about the right way 
(the normal installed package layout is now fine although TIP55 layout 
provides more features).
