Resurrecting XOTcl for Debian
by Stefan Sobernig 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Dear XOTcl community! XOTcl is now available in the official Debian sid/unstable suite of packages, starting with the most recent release (1.6.0)! We are also confident that XOTcl will, therefore, be featured in upcoming Ubuntu releases (probably in the second half of the year, i.e. the post-8.04 release). You will find the following XOTcl Debian packages: xotcl (core) xotcl-shells (xotclsh, xowish + man pages) xotcl-dev (headers + static libs, i.e. stubs) xotcl-doc (language reference + manual) aolserver4-xotcl (AOLServer 4.0.10/4.5 module) They are about to be spreaded to the Debian mirror network within the next hours. For now, they can be found at: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xotcl/ Over the last couple of weeks, we packaged and contributed XOTcl to Debian sid/ unstable under the sponsorship of the Debian Tcl/Tk maintainers. We would like to express our gratitude to the two chief Debian Tcl/Tk maintainers, Sergei Golovan and Francesco Lovergine, who supported and reviewed our packaging efforts. Please, report package-related bugs through the Debian bug tracker system: see http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting General requests should be send to the Debian Tcl/Tk mailing list: see http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-tcltk-devel Enjoy! //stefan -- Stefan Sobernig Institute for Information Systems and New Media Vienna University of Economics Augasse 2-6 A - 1090 Vienna `- +43 - 1 - 31336 - 4878 [phone] `- +43 - 1 - 31336 - 746 [fax] `- stefan.sobernig(a)wu-wien.ac.at <mailto:stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at> `- ss(a)thinkersfoot.net <mailto:ss@thinkersfoot.net>

XOTcl 1.6.0 issue with "Object info class"
by Edmond Ho 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hello all, I downloaded XOTcl 1.6.0 today, and I immediately ran into an issue in some of my existing code. The following example works in XOTcl 1.5.6, but is different in XOTcl 1.6.0 -- as I understand the documentation on the website, there should be no difference between versions. package require XOTcl namespace import ::xotcl::* Class Foo set f [Foo new] $f info Class ;# returns "::Foo", which seems correct $f info Class "Foo" ;# in 1.5.6, returns 1; in 1.6.0, returns an empty string To repeat, the issue is that "Object info class <classname>" returns a boolean value in XOTcl 1.5.6, but returns an empty string in 1.6.0 -- the current documentation on the website suggests that the 1.5.6 behavior is correct. Am I missing something? Should the documentation be changed, or is the behavior in 1.6.0 incorrect? I downloaded the package via ActiveState's teacup service; I'm working on Mac OS X 10.4 Intel. Thanks in advance for any help! Cheers, Edmond
