[can someone supply the std template - ilv'm not typing so well these days] purpose - category for pages dealing with source and or binary distribution issues or specific distribution of tcl / extensions.
escargo 15 Jul 2003 - Who is the i implied above? How is this category related to Category Deployment?
lv distribution was, primarily in my mind, a category used to tag pages dealing with the various ways that tcl is currently available for someone - sort of the practical/user flipside of deployment.
escargo - Does this mean the distribution of Tcl/Tk as a development environment (or tools for the development of deployable applications)?
lv awell, dev envir or application infrastructure/framework... joe wants to run tkoutline or whatever, and discovers he needs to install tcl first - he is no developer - just a user wanting to plug in the toaster. A binary distribution allows that to happen; on a new or peculiar platform, more pain is ahead as a source dis. is needed. in either case, this is NOT a developer situation....
escargo - The more you say that this is so users can run applications, the more this category sounds like a duplication of deployment. lv certainly there is overlap - however - for most tcl apps, the deployment issues are solved by the statement 'go get a tcl distribution'. this category ties the issues of building, locating, installing, etc a tcl distribution.
but it's okay - feel free to tag the same pages with both categories. my hands hurt too much to continue today.
