I've been actively adding various Tcl packages to Fedora Extras, the
official add-on repository for Fedora. The standard Tclx and Expect are
already available, and I've added the following:
tclhttpd
tclxml
tcldom
tclsoap
tcllib
tklib
tkcon
itcl
itk
iwidgets
tile
bwidget
tbcload
....with the following soon to be available for Fedora Core 5 and later:
tclcompiler
tclchecker
tclparser
tcldebugger
tclpro
Other extensions that have been added by others include:
tclthread
tcltls
These extensions are not installed by default, but can be easily
installed using 'yum install'. If there are any other popular
extensions that folks would like to see in Fedora, just drop me an email
and I'd be happy to work on it.
