Yes and no.
I do have pgtclsh and pgwish (which I renamed from pgtksh) in my project.
They build and test OK, but I moved them to an "extra" directory, labeled
them as "deprecated", and do not provide auto-configure. Also, I won't
include support for building them on Windows. In my opinion, it's so much
better to use dynamic package loading with Tcl, that it makes no sense to
link a specific extension into a Tcl shell anymore. "package require
Pgtcl" is the way to go. But if anyone really needs the pg* shells, they
can edit a few lines in the Makefile and build them.
However... shortly after I created a new project on Gborg for my version of
the Tcl interface, the original Gborg pgtcl project started getting
updates. I don't know what Brett's plans are, but I'm in a quandary about
what to do. I'm very close to finishing up my version, including the new
reference manual and Windows binary release, but I've held off uploading or
releasing anything. I didn't count on forking an active project, and I
don't want to do the wrong thing. Advice?
