Unfortunately the try implemented in tcl 8.6 seems to be TIP #329 [1]. At a glace, it seems MacPorts' try indeed conforms to TIP #89, but TIP #329 no longer provides the "catch" block available in #89, which is used widely throughout the MacPorts codebase. I haven't yet checked whether "catch" can be easily replaced by a different command in order to conform to TIP #329. > Since the implementation of proc "try" in macports_util.tcl says, it > is compatible with Tcl TIP #89, lets hope that the usage pattern in of > "try" in macports are compatible with TIP #89, and one can use the > built-in "try" instead of the proc - at least, when tcl8.6 is used. Experimental testing suggests this is not the case.
