Currently Tcl allows extensions to be installed in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64, and will perform a time-consuming search through all subdirectories to find extensions. The 'restricted auto_path' patch that we are adding will limit the search to %{_libdir}/tcl8.5 and %{_datadir}/tcl8.5. This greatly improves the startup time for most Tcl applications. However, it does require that maintainers of Tcl extension packages make some changes to ensure that the extensions get installed into %{_libdir}/tcl8.5 (or %{_datadir}/tcl8.5) instead of %{_libdir} (or %{_datadir}). I will be happy to help out any maintainers that want help with this change. --Wart -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
