A basekit is another term for tclkit-like technology. Since the creator of Tclkit asked that developers not add or remove extensions from a tclkit file, one might assume that if they call their file a basekit then they could, in theory, offer variants. Perhaps dqkit might be called a basekit? The first use of the term I recall was from ActiveState.
List of Basekits (with comparison to Tclkit)
- ActiveTcl - ActiveTcl includes basekits with each distro release that mirror the core release of the dist
- Tclkit - the original basekit
- Tclkit Lite - like Tclkit, but with fewer extensions included
- Tclkit Mobile - a port of Tclkit + Tkcon to certain PDAs
- Tclkit-X11 (Mac OS X only) - like Tclkit but with Tk/X11 in place of Tk/Aqua; part of the TclTkAquaBI distribution for Mac OS X
- TixTclKit (Windows only) - a different set of extensions including Tix and Windows-specific tools
- Dqkit - a much larger set of extensions, including BLT
[anyone want to build a table that lists what extensions are in each basekit?]
