OTcl, short for MIT Object Tcl, is an extension to Tcl/Tk for
object-oriented programming. It shouldn't be confused with the IXI
Object Tcl extension by Dean Sheenan.
Some of OTcl's features as compared to alternatives are:
* designed to be dynamically extensible, like Tcl, from the ground
up
* builds on Tcl syntax and concepts rather than importing another
language
* compact yet powerful object programming system (draws on CLOS,
Smalltalk, and Self)
* fairly portable implementation (2000 lines of C, without core
hacks)
* installation fix: (ice-9 and-let*) has been renamed to (ice-9 and-let-star)
* build fix: net_db.c `inet_aton' declaration now properly conditionalized
* bugfix: `expt' now handles negative exponents correctly
* installation fix: some programs are no longer installed
* guile-snarf usage now internalizes output-file creation/deletion
* installation fix: libltdl now "installable" instead of "convenience"
* library versioning now more disciplined
* "make check" now works
* provisional documentation available
* interface summarization available
buildlink2.mk files back into the main trunk. This provides sufficient
buildlink2 infrastructure to start merging other packages from the
buildlink2 branch that have already been converted to use the buildlink2
framework.
Changes since version 1.06 include:
* Lots of bugfixes.
* The Hat tracing system is now entirely separate from the nhc98 compiler
(and is thus not included in the package)

Tools:
- ocamlbrowser: improved error reporting;
CHICKEN is a Scheme-to-C compiler supporting most of the language
features as defined in the Revised^5 Report on Scheme. CHICKEN
generates quite portable C code, and files compiled by it (including
itself) should work without any changes on most platforms.
The whole package is distributed under a BSD license and as such free
to use and modify as long as you adhere to its terms (see the manual).
Linkage to C modules and C-library functions is straightforward, so
it's easy to access C from Scheme. Compiled code can be embedded into
existing C programs without problems. The generated code supports
full tail-recursion, first-class continuations, multiple values and
dynamic-wind.
branch. Includes fixes for sparc, alpha, and others.
Should help in keeping pkgsrc running on 1.5.* systems.
The patches which mirror those in the main netbsd source tree have
been all put into a single distribution patch file. This makes
it much easier to maintain and easier to easily see which patches
are specific to pkgsrc.
JAVA situation. Also adjust MASTER_SITES and HOMEPAGE and add a license
("single-user-license"), as the software has specific restrictions on the
usage.
This fixes the problem pointed out during Huberts most recent bulk-build.
unsupported by this JRE. In such cases, this avoids the error
message "CATEGORIES and DISTNAME are mandatory" and allows the
usual NOT_FOR_PLATFORM message to be displayed.

subdirectories under ${PREFIX}/java/ -- Change VI of many (the last).
Thus install this JDK into ${PREFIX}/java/blackdown-1.3.1 and remove
CONFLICTS with other JDKs/JREs. Split this package into blackdown-jre13
and blackdown-jdk13 much like sun-j* (see previous import of
lang/blackdown-jre13).
Bump PKGREVISION.
Note: this package is available for i386, sparc, powerpc and the blackdown-jre
is also available for arm. If you have any of sparc, powerpc or arm,
please make sure this works properly.
subdirectories under ${PREFIX}/java/ -- Change VI of many.
Thus install this JDK into ${PREFIX}/java/sun-1.4.0 and remove
CONFLICTS with other JDKs/JREs. Rename package from sun-jdk-1.4.0
to sun-jdk14-0 (avoids conflict with sun-jre13).
Pull in common stuff by including lang/sun-jre14/Makefile.common.
Extend MESSAGE and finally bump PKGREVISION.
subdirectories under ${PREFIX}/java/ -- Change V of many.
Thus install this JRE into ${PREFIX}/java/sun-1.4.0 and remove
CONFLICTS with other JDKs/JREs. Rename package from sun-jre-1.4.0
to sun-jre14-0 (avoids conflict with sun-jre13).
Split Makefile into Makefile and Makefile.common, to allow reusing
of some of the stuff in lang/sun-jdk14 (commit coming up).
Add informative MESSAGE and finally bump PKGREVISION.
subdirectories under ${PREFIX}/java/ -- Change IV of many.
Thus install this JDK into ${PREFIX}/java/sun-1.3.1 and remove
CONFLICTS with other JDKs/JREs. Rename package from sun-jdk-1.3.1.0.2
to sun-jdk13-1.0.2 (avoids conflict with sun-jdk14).
Include lang/sun-jre13/Makefile.common for shared info.
Add informative MESSAGE and finally bump PKGREVISION.
subdirectories under ${PREFIX}/java/ -- Change III of many.
Thus install this JRE into ${PREFIX}/java/sun-1.3.1 and remove
CONFLICTS with other JDKs/JREs. Rename package from sun-jre-1.3.1.0.2
to sun-jre13-1.0.2 (avoids conflict with sun-jre14).
Split Makefile into Makefile and Makefile.common, to allow reusing
of some of the stuff in lang/sun-jdk13 (commit coming up).
Add informative MESSAGE and finally bump PKGREVISION.

Thus, install this jdk in ${PREFIX}/java/jdk-1.1.8, remove
CONFLICTS with other JDKs/JREs and bump PKGREVISION.
subdirectories under ${PREFIX}/java/ -- Change I of many.
Thus, for consistency, also install kaffe into ${PREFIX}/java/kaffe
rather than ${PREFIX}/java
While we're at it, update kaffe to version 1.0.7.
Changes since 1.0.6:
- New version of KJC
- New encoding converters based on iconv().
- Lots of bug fixes
Furthermore, the website says that 1.0.7 has added support for
Darwin, ia64 GNU/Linux, s390 GNU/Linux, PA-RISC GNU/Linux, Alpha for
Compaq Tru64 GNU/Linux and support of PowerPC without libffi.
People with access to any of these platforms are encouraged to test
this version, so we can possibly adjust ONLY_FOR_PLATFORMS etc.
which differs from perl-5.6.1 in the improved threading support and much
improved Unicode support. Perl 5.8.0 is binary-incompatible with perl
5.6.1, so any compiled perl modules will need to be rebuilt in order to
work with the new perl.
This package is currently only for Darwin, though the restriction will be
lifted prior to branching.
changes to get it to build on NetBSD are extensive - for reference,
and the one who comes after me, they are:
+ awk.h defines "proc" in a cpp macro. This doesn't sit too well with
"struct proc" references, as found in <sys/uio.h>. The good news is that
only awk.h and awkgram.y need to be modified to workaround this.
+ the present Makefile copying wrt gettext Makefile.in.in is unnecessary
+ automake is a pre-req of this package
+ and there is a problem in Makefile.in/configure with ${AUTOMAKE} not
being defined properly
and many, many more...
Changes since 110.9.1:
* Bug fixes, improvements to generated code, and miscellaneous
user-invisible tweaks too numerous to mention.
* Autoloaded libraries now load correctly, due to the new
`CM_PATHCONFIG' mechanism. Autoloading failed in the package's
previous version, despite the best effort of the do-install target.
* New commands `ml-build' and `ml-makedepend'. The former automates
the process of building standalone heap images, while the latter
generates dependencies for traditional makefiles.
* Major overhaul of the Compilation Manager (CM). For example, most
`sources.cm' files now require including `$/basis.cm', as well as
substituting `$/foo.cm' for `foo.cm' wherever `foo.cm' refers to an
autoloaded library bundled with the system (e.g. `smlnj-lib.cm').
For details, see http://www.smlnj.org/NEWS/110.20-README.html, and
the CM manual at
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/what/smlnj/doc/CM/new.pdf .
* Reduced virtual memory consumption.
* Support for running under Mac OS X (Darwin). Such support is not
currently reflected in the pkgsrc, however, since I have no way to
test it.
v 0.7.5, June 20 2001
* Gawk 3.1.0's Coprocessing and inet functions are now supported by Awka,
as are the new builtin functions asort() and mktime(). Thanks to Juergen
Kahrs for the original work to implement this excellent feature, and to
Arnold Robbins for including it in Gawk. That libawka will now be
distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) rather than
LGPL as a result of having to include some code from Gawk. The previously
separate dfa library is now absorbed into libawka, and the -d command-line
option for awka removed as it is no longer needed.
so revise the PLIST, removing dfa.h and libdfa.a accordingly
Remove `-p' from mkdir arguments, it is already part of ${MKDIR}.
While here substitute a couple of ${PREFIX} by `%D' in
`@exec ${MKDIR} ...' lines and add a couple of missing `%D' in such lines too!
* use GNU_CONFIGURE_PREFIX instead of HAS_CONFIGURE workaround,
* and fix dynamic loading on NetBSD ELF platforms by explicitly linking
libc.so into the dynamically loadable modules. This requires bumping
the PKGREVISION to 2.

Changes since 3.01:
Too much to list here - see http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/Changes
Note that this release includes camlp4, thus rendering that package
redundant.
