1: util_unlist proc deprecated

The last OpenACS version has deprecated util_unlist without suggesting any alternative.

Given our heavy usage of the proc, the error log becomes quickly bloated with warning messages.

Is there a way of preventing this annoying effect?
Wich is the reccomended way to unlist a list?

One should use the tcl built-in "lassign" instead of "util_unlist" (see [1] for such a change). From which package do you get the warning? the packages in [2] are free of calls to deprecated code.

Thank You very much for pointing to 'lassign'.

I was getting warnings from several custom packages that are not part of OpenACS.
