Source: ace Version: 5.7.7-1 Severity: wishlist User: [email protected] Usertags: UpgradeDefaultTclTkTo85
Hi Thomas and Pau, Before uploading tcltk-defaults 8.5 in unstable, it would be nice to see what fallout that would have, by rebuilding all relevant packages against the version in experimental. Since experimental buildds use packages from sid by default, this requires sourceful uploads to change build-deps to explicitly request the version from experimental, as discussed on debian-release[1]: Build-Depends: tk-dev (>= 8.5) When I tried the rebuild locally (from an svn snapshot), I quickly gave up from intimidation at the huge package. :) If you are short on time, I can try again and let you know what problems I run into. Currently ace has a Build-Depends on tk-dev (>= 8.4.7) and libace-reactor-dev has a Depends on tk-dev (>= 8.4.7), though no package build-depends on the latter. To get the buildds to use tk 8.5 now while it is not in sid yet, all that would be required is to temporarily change these 8.4.7 to 8.5; but I cannot say whether using the new versions will break anything.
