Tcl Source Code: Tcl Source Code

This is a clone of the Tcl repository at http://core.tcl.tk/tcl.

What's Here

A few branches exist here for my own contributions and experiments:

aspect-binary-float-inf -- trying to make binary format R and friends treat Inf correctly. See http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/tktview/85ce4bf92 and http://wiki.tcl.tk/41088
aspect-file-createdir -- an implementation of file createdir, my answer to TIP#431. See http://wiki.tcl.tk/40609
aspect-array-traces -- very early steps in trying to fix array traces. See http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/tktview?name=ace7bf3dcf and http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/tktview/2969488fff and http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/tktview/219372ffff and http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/tktview/709340ffff and http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/tktview/572889ffff
~~aspect-lreplace-fix~~ -- now on 8.6.4 branch @ core

.. I have some other stuff yet to be merged in here - open a ticket if you're interested in:

(not very portable) PTY support
regexp -partial for reporting when a prefix of a pattern may match a suffix of a string
resurrecting Peter Spjuth's compiled macros - see http://paste.tclers.tk/3306 and http://paste.tclers.tk/3305
maybe trying to fold tclparser into core for TIP purposes
other stuff I talk about in chat sometimes

How To Use It

Branches from this repo can be imported into your local clone of http://core.tcl.tk using the fossil bundle command.

Assuming your core checkout is in ~/fossils/tcl and you're happy to clone my repo in ~/fossils/tcl-aspect, a session might look like this:

$ cd ~/fossils
$ BRANCH=aspect-binary-float-inf
$ BUNDLE=$(pwd)/$BRANCH.fbun

Clone my repo:

$ mkdir tcl-aspect
$ cd tcl-aspect
$ fossil clone http://chiselapp.com/user/aspect/repository/tcl/ .fossil
$ fossil open .fossil $BRANCH

Extracting a bundle:

$ fossil bundle export $BUNDLE --branch $BRANCH
$ fossil bundle ls $BUNDLE

Use fossil bundle ls $BUNDLE to ensure no extraneous commits were included in the bundle.

Applying the bundle to your repo:

$ cd ~/fossils/tcl
$ fossil bundle import $BUNDLE

This will import $BRANCH as a private branch. If you decide after import that the bundle is trash, fossil bundle purge $BUNDLE will clean it out of your repo. Otherwise, you will probably want to merge it into a branch of your own, with:

$ fossil checkout $MYBRANCH
$ fossil merge $BRANCH

How I Made It

This repo was built by the following process.

start with a local clone of http://core.tcl.tk/tcl, making new branches for experiments
in chiselapp: Create Repo -> Clone Repo -> Clone URL: http://core.tcl.tk/tcl

back in the shell in your local clone:

fossil pull
fossil remote-url http://aspect:*********@chiselapp.com/user/aspect/repository/tcl/
fossil push

.. ta-da!
