I've been doing some more checking and I believe the blt distributed
with Ubuntu 8.10 does not work. It segfaults when you try to run the
demo applications, and I don't know how to fix it. Apparently, their
compile-o-magical approach to build blt both for tcl/tk 8.4 and 8.5 is
mistaken, somehow.
I've filed a bug report on the ubuntu site about it.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359857
In the meanwhile, I have built blt packages that are versioned so that
they can be installed and not damaged by the package updater.
Before I post those packages, can I ask a question?
I'm working with the packaging for Debian/Ubuntu that was created by one
of the Swarm users last year (Masayuki Hatta,
http://www.mhatta.org/debian/swarm). He's pretty gung-ho about
complying with the Debian packaging guidelines, which,for one thing,
require we call the package "libswarm" and not just "swarm" and also we
can't have a directory /usr/etc/swarm, we have to have /etc/swarm. He
calls the package "libswarm0" and I don't know exactly why.
Anyway, are "we" Swarm people objecting against re-positioning files to
match the dictates of the distributions? Are "we" objecting to calling
this libswarm?
Last time I asked, Chris said he would likely make a Debian swarm
package, and I'd be happy to just copy his packaging strategy. Hint Hint.
