Any/All,
tkcvs (https://sourceforge.net/projects/tkcvs/) has become active
again after 7 years and released a 9.X release series. As it is tk/tcl
based (noarch) and it now supports more modern usage (including git),
I'd like to see it make its way into EPEL, and maybe even EPEL-7, since
there aren't really any binary-level dependencies of which I'm aware.
(Please correct me if I've missed something.)
Thoughts? I know that major release points are usually avoided in
EPEL due to ABI incompatibility, but for a pure Tk/Tcl implementation,
the feature-additions and bugfixes likely outweigh most risk.
Thanks,
-Nathan
P.s:
I was successfully able to build it (but haven't installed nor
tested) using the previous 8.2.3 SRPM spec file with the below patch
(updated source version and urls, fixed the setup for non-standard
naming of sources, fixed changelog for incorrect dates, and removed CVS
as it is not a true dependency, IMHO):
