Release notes: http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/8.4.html
This is the twentieth and *FINAL* patch release of Tcl/Tk 8.4.
With this release, support for Tcl/Tk 8.4 comes to an end.
These ports are going to be deprecated soon. Please use 8.5 or 8.6.
were set based on WRKSRC instead of PREFIX.
This mainly affected TEA-based extensions that source tclConfig.sh /
tkConfig.sh to set important variables. An example is TCL_SRC_DIR, which
is used to locate Tcl/Tk private header files such as tclUnixPort.h or
tkUnixPort.h. This variable was previously set to WRKSRC, which caused
ports to need additional tweaks to CFLAGS or CONFIGURE_ARGS.
It should now be possible to build TEA-based extensions by specifying only
the CONFIGURE_ARGS --with-tcl=${TCL_LIBDIR} / --with-tk=${TK_LIBDIR}.

resolves conflicts.
Threaded libraries and shell are installed on top of the standard ones
so ports that depend on threaded and non-threaded tcl can be used
simultaneously.
Behaiviour with non-threaded libraries does not change.

as disable socket.test in this case. Some of the TCL's self-tests attempt to
open a socket to (or request http-data from) a "dead" port on the localhost.
These tests expect a quick failure, but get a hang, when the blackhole is on.
Tests in http.test use a timeout, but some of those in socket.test do not...
Pointed out by: confusion on ports@
. add recognition of the BSD-specific SIGINFO signal (to be
submitted to authors);
. avoid even extracting the compat/ subdirectory for fear
of picking up a wrong declaration for a function defined
in a system library;
. force to use the system strstr() instead of building TCL's
own (from compat/strstr.c);
. similarly, use the system memmove() instead of the (identical)
bcopy;
. run the vendor's tests as part of the build -- the test failures
are not fatal, but may help investigate problems;
. fix up the two failing tests so that none currently fail on my two
test systems (FreeBSD-6.1-STABLE i386 and amd64) (fixes submitted
to authors);
. quiet down the noisy warning, triggered in the thread-case by
the re-#define of inet_ntoa() in tclUnixPort.h.
Bump PORTREVISION.
patch-tclUnixChan.c appears to have been a no-op all along, since
it is comparing literal device names, and we have no "/dev/cua".
patch-tclUnixSock.c was introduced on the basis that the nodename
returned by uname(3) was limited to 32 characters, which does not
appear to be the case now.
PORTREVISION not bumped since there should be no functional change.

Tcl sources to be available at Tk build-time. Only a few headers
are actually needed and they are installed by Tcl port under
$LOCALBASE/include/tcl8.x
