Version 41 of SourceForge

Updated 2013-08-31 10:29:47 by APN

SourceForge http://www.sf.net/ - aka SF - is an ambitious attempt to provide open source projects with freely available source code , bug, and request management facilities, mailing list support, compile farm access, software distribution, and more.

The effort has over 324,000 projects at this time (2013-08-31).

As of January, 2003 the massive collaborative project support site at SourceForge [L1 ] has (at least) 629 projects in (or using) Tcl and Tcl/Tk Some stay in the top downloads, or high-activity category. This page is started because so many projects have been moving to SF.

Free to OpenSource developers, and development collaborators, SourceForge provides:

  • Apache/PHP web support with CGIs
  • SSH based shell access
  • FreeBSD and multi-version Linux compile resources
  • Web, wiki, tickers, feedback/discussions
  • Git, Mercurial and (frozen) CVS repositories with SSH-based update, public access and web browsing
  • High speed FTP and HTTP download sites

APN 2013-08-31 The list below is hopelessly out of date. Your are better off going to SourceForge Tcl directory

But rather than advertising SourceForge here, go browse the projects, or start your own, and announce it below:

  • [L50 ] [L51 ] Yozilla browser
  • [L52 ] [L53 ] LinuDent ''Dental Front Office Application'
  • [L54 ] [L55 ] IICMD Tcl Extension for Ingres DBMS
  • [L56 ] mpr Media Play Restarter

etc.

There is also a small code snippets library there:

Please note that not everyone is perfectly content with sourceforge:

You may not agree with them, but they mention some reasonable points.

DKF: IMHO, SF sucks. But it is really nice that they are providing/handling all the sysadmin/hardware side of things, so I guess it doesn't suck too much.


Tcl Foundry


Where in all of SF does one find the tclconfig module that so many TEA based extensions needs?

AK: It is not a module, but a subdirectory in the module 'sampleextension' in the project 'tcl'.


Get to a bug report, knowing only its number (219137 in this example):
