Hi,
I've noticed that the xotcl distribution in activetcl differs from the one provided on the xotcl site (let say xotcl-1.5.3.tar.gz)
So, for example, the "library" directory is missing ... And, if you try something like "package require xotcl::store::persistence
" (as you can see in the http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/doc/library/store/persistenceExample.xotcl example) that doesn't work (file missing) ... that's a real gap because as OO programmers we all know how persistence is closely related to the OO world (and not only).
I've asked why to the activetcl team but they say they just build the xotcl distribution you gave to them. Maybe you provided to them a specific Makefile, or maybe is this one corrupt/incomplete ?
So my question is what appened, and obviously what can I do to integrate the full ("official" ?) xotcl distribution to my existing activetcl installation ? (runs on windows) ?
Thanks,
LR

Announcing XOTcl 1.5.4
*************************
We are pleased to announce the availability of XOTcl 1.5.4.
Originally, this release was planned as a small bug fix release. However,
the total size of the (unified) diff between 1.5.3 and 1.5.4 is more
than 5000 lines, mostly due to the varRefom changes (see first
item below).
Major changes relative to 1.5.4 are:
* Improved code quality:
+ provided compatibility with Tcl 8.5
(currently, this requires the verison of Tcl 8.5
from CVS head, including the changes for VarReform
(For details, see
http://groups.google.at/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_frm/thread/bff391a7f1bd8…)
+ improved serializer
(handling var traces for instances variables)
+ several small bug-fixes
(e.g. fixing empty variable names, error message
propagation for configure, fixing potential crashes,
when namespaces are added to objects during
<object> eval, etc.)
+ improved portablility for more platforms
(more portable shell tests for e.g. FreeBSD)
+ extended regression test
For more details about the changes, please consult the ChangeLog and
documentation.
