If this is true, then I feel it's imperative that Tcl/Tk 8.4 become |
| 9 |
stable, and all other packages in portage are made to work with it. 8.4 |
| 10 |
is about a year old now, and I find it unacceptable that it's only |
| 11 |
available as an "unstable" package. This situation reminds me of that |
| 12 |
*other* distro. |

I agree that there are a lot of potential issues involved with SLOTting |
| 15 |
this package. Unfortunately, the only alternatives -- a similarly |
| 16 |
massive effort to make sure everything works with the newest version, or |
| 17 |
sticking with an increasingly out-of-date package -- seem worse. |
