./lang/tcl-expect, Extensions to Tcl to support scripting of interactive programs

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 5.45.0nb6, Package name: tcl-expect-5.45.0nb6, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Expect is a program that performs programmed dialogue with other
interactive programs. It is briefly described by its man page, expect(1).

It uses pseudo-tty's to control the child processes, so it is not affected
by programs that refuse to read from stdin or pipes. (eg: passwd(1) etc).

This program is no longer maintained upstream, with a last release in
2018 and the most recent maintainer ticket action in 2020.

Log message:
lang/tcl-expect: Limit deadlock workaround to affected platforms

This caused a build failure on OpenServer.  As the comment hinted
would be necessary, limit the workaround to linux and sunos, which are
known to have poll.  (expect does not have a configure test for poll
already.)

Add a commented-out secondary HOMEPAGE.

Rototill patch comments after reading them enough to mostly understand.

Log message:
lang/tcl-expect: Add best-guess patch comments

The patches had a comment from 2012 that I cannot understand at all.
This replaces them with my best guess at the point of the patches.

Add users to Makefile.common, apparently only this package.

Log message:
lang/tcl-expect: Quote version per pkglint

This is almost certainly just a cleanup; OS_VERSION values are
strings, not numbers.
