I've already done much of the work And so did I: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-09/msg00378.html FYI, this controversy goes back a LONG way: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-10/msg00316.html http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-10/msg00343.html > so why > must this take so long? Dunno -- probably just that cgf's tuits are in _extremely_ short supply. I think the last word was this: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-10/msg00331.html IIRC, there was talk about the death of insight (upstream), and we were kinda in limbo about that, and then it started to look like insight (upstream) would /not/ die, and we went into a holding pattern... Basically, the question of tcl/tk is tightly coupled to gdb/insight and cgf's plans for the latter -- which is in turn strongly affected by Keith Seitz's plans for upstream insight. -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
