From: Jeff Hobbs on 10 Jul 2008 01:54 ActiveState Code has been launched (in beta)! ActiveState Code is a new site that will be the eventual replacement of the venerable ASPN Cookbooks, which covered several languages, including Tcl. What this site offers over the ASPN Cookbooks: * a complete visual refresh (long overdue) * full tagging support of recipes * support for many many more languages (the ASPN Cookbooks were restricted to Python, PHP, Tcl and XSLT recipes) In addition, the new site provides a sound foundation for other improvements so tell us what you think!. What is missing? What doesnt work? What would make the site more useful for you? for your community? While the site is in beta, new recipes, comments and votes are not saved instead the sites data will be syncd from the ASPN Cookbooks most nights. The plan is to fully move to this new site in two weeks, shutting down the old ASPN Cookbooks (redirects will preserve all old links). Please give it a look, starting at http://code.activestate.com/recipes/langs/tcl/ This site is meant to augment rather than replace any aspect of the Tcl'ers wiki. The benefits of this for code over the Tcl'ers wiki is increased structure on the code examples, ratings and syntax highlighting of the code. It also represents an arena that we hope to have a growing presence of multi-language solutions, and it would be great to see Tcl maintain a strong presence there. Enjoy! The ActiveState Team

We actually have it finished, but are currently holding it back pending some discussions on distribution. AT 8.5.3 will be the first "fat" AT 8.5 release. Not as fat as AT 8.4, but with the most popular modules. This is being done with a pre-seeded teapot repository as opposed to the 8.4 lib system, which brings up issues like how to handle being installed in an area with an existing teapot, etc. Jeff

It takes quite some guesswork to dig it out of the teapot area at first... Michael

A fatter distribution is great news for those of us working in environments where security and corporate policy make downloading updates difficult :-) Colin. |
