Fine by me. On fink, the transition from tcl 8.4 to 8.5 has never happened for i386 or powerpc fink but only on x86_64. FYI, I was helping them debug an issue with the fink blt package on tcltk 8.5 yesterday. It looks like the same issue as http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15095. The proper fix backported from Fedora 12 is added to the ticket... http://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/15095/blt2.4z-noexactversion.patch For 64-bit compatibility, the blt package also needs to use the Fedora 12 patch added here... http://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/15095/blt2.4z-patch-64 I added the last to tbe blt package I maintained in fink and found the first one yesterday in current Fedora rawhide.
