Hi all,

after using starkits for some time, I got aware of kbskit. It seems kbskit
offers some very nice features, including building easily your own with
different libraries included. I am wondering what experiences people have?
And I have some specific questions:

What are the main differences between kbskit and tclkit?

Can a kbskit be used as a replacement for tclkit?

Can you build kbskit with tclcurl?


thanks.

different build system
includes slightly different set of packages

I haven't tried.

Have a read through kbs.tcl (towards the end of the code); it has a
whole subsystem dedicated to adding other useful pacakages, including
downloading a compatible version from CVS etc. I am sure if you
submitted a patch to include tclcurl as an option that the author
would welcome it.

Not yet. But you can add your own package definitions.
Either with include in kbs.tcl or in a separate file and
use with -pkgfile=.. on the command line.

You can find examples of the package definitions in the
kbs.tcl file.
For tcl only packages you can look p.e. at the wcb.3.2 definition.
For compiled packages have a look p.e. at the tktable2.10 definition.

Also you can create the programmers documentation under doc/ with
./kbs.tcl doc
