Hi Victor, Thanks for the update, its very useful. I'll have a look at it next week. Where can I find the 5.07 spec you mention. I'll have a look at getting it up to 5.08 as a starter and see if I can't push the Tcl/Tk plugins into a subpackage but according to this sugarlabs page the 0.84 release will work with either 5.08 and 5.10. It would require a rebuild for the associated apps though.
