TIP: 253 Title: Consolidate Package-Related Commands Author: Brian Schmidt Version: $Revision: 1.6 $ Type: Project State: Draft Vote: Pending Created: 05-Jul-2005 Tcl-Version: 8.7 Post-History: ~Abstract This TIP proposes enhancing the existing '''package''' command with additional subcommands to serve as the top-level command container for the existing '''pkg::create''' and '''pkg_mkIndex''' commands. ~Rationale The '''pkg::create''' and '''pkg_mkIndex''' commands, while they relate to packages, are their own separate top-level commands. For consistency, clarity and also making it easier for new users to see all the related options, those commands should become options under the existing '''package''' command. ~Specification Additional '''package''' command options will be added with the following subcommand syntax: | package create ;pkg::create | package mkIndex ;pkg_mkIndex Each represents the existing command that is commented. The arguments to each would remain what the current command takes. The following old commands could then potentially be eventually deprecated: | pkg::create | pkg_mkIndex ~Copyright This document has been placed in the public domain.
