Distribution mechanisms for Tcl source and binaries
- Teacup - a tool for fetching and managing modules from a repository
- Tcl Modules - a single file that contains a package and can be sourced
- package - command for loading and managing code, usually installed in Tcl's lib directory
- source - command to load a Tcl source file
- load - load a shared library (DLL or SO file)
- auto_load - load a command using the tclIndex files in the auto-load path
KJN I have started this page because I am beginning to get confused by the number of possible distribution mechanisms. Have auto_load and load have been made obsolete by package?
Please discuss.
