Forum OpenACS Improvement Proposals (TIPs): TIP 85 (approved): Require tcllib

Collapse
Posted by Malte Sussdorff on
The purpose of this TIP is to require a dependency on tcllib and get rid of all copied / old code in OpenACS that is has better equivalents in TCLlib.

Reasoning:

TCLlib is an actively developed package that offers a lot of enhancements to the TCL language which we sometimes mirror in OpenACS (e.g. MIME handling). Instead of duplicating efforts and wasting resources, we should actively embrace these new options (which we need for acs-mail(-lite) and tsoap anyway) and make tcllib a required and well documented part of the installation.
