Hi! I would like to start multiarchifying Tcl/Tk packages in Debian. The resulting packages should be installable for a foreign architecture. The libtcl* should be linkable by applications at C level and loadable at Tcl level.
An example of patch adding multiarch can be seen in [1]. As far as I see we should do the following (I'll use 8.6 as an example): 1) Split tcl8.6 into tcl8.6 (with a sole tclsh8.6 binary) and libtcl8.6-0 or maybe tcl8.6-lib, like in Ubuntu now, (with libraries and Tcl code). Do the same for tk8.6. 2) Move libraries into multiarch directory. 3) Fix Debian Tcl/Tk policy in both how the Tcl/Tk is packaged and how to package multiarch capable extensions. I'd propose to start implementing this for Tcl/Tk 8.6 as it'll cause less damage in case we break something. Any comments? Ideas? Did I miss something?
