[Tclxml-users] tcldom 2.5 question

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

I am seeing the following behavior that seems strange to me - perhaps
I am misunderstanding something?

$ tclsh
% package require dom::tcl
can't read "::dom::strictDOM": no such variable
% package require dom::generic
2.5
% package require dom::tcl
2.5

If dom::tcl requires dom::generic to be loaded, then should it not do
a package require on it?

Yes, that appears to be correct.  Please submit a bug report
on SF.

I haven't picked it up before now because I normally
use 'package require dom'.

I do the same, i.e. 'package require dom'. So far I considered this
the official / blessed invocation of dom which loads everything
required and possible.

Despite this I am _not_ adverse to having 'package require' work for
all of the subordinate packages too.

This is something I did not touch when creating the TEA 2 build system
for all the tclxml/dom/xslt packages.
