Why is libpgtcl still in /src/interfaces? Isn't it now on gborg? Are
there two of them there now?

There are indeed two - mine and the other one:
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgtclng/
Version 1.5.0 released 2004-02-29 (source, manual, and Windows binary
releases)
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgtcl/
Last release was beta 1.4b3 2002-11-15?

If you delete libpgtcl from "core" CVS, you lose the histories. I don't
think you want that. But that doesn't mean you necessarily have to bundle
it with the release anymore, does it? It's up to you core team people what
you want to do about unbundling libpgtcl. I've done my part. But I do have
a suggestion: if you chose to unbundled it and pgtclng becomes the
"official" Tcl interface, someone from the core team needs to be added to
the admin list of the gborg pgtclng project. You know, just in case...

I am still waiting for an answer on this. Does no one know?

My question is whether they have all the CVS history and fixes in
libpgtcl so we can remove it from CVS.

I replied right away - to you and the lists you posted to.
Never got it? It's in the archive:

I believe I have all the fixes, and I know I have none of the histories, in
pgtcl-ng. I think both statements are also true about the Gborg pgtcl project.

Yes, I saw that. The issue is that the CVS history needs to be moved
over into one of the gborg TCL project histories.

Marc?

Yea, we need to do that before removing from CVS.

OK, Marc has removed libpgtcl. I just removed the docs for them.

Can someone comment on pgtclsh? The README says:

pgtclsh is an example of a tclsh extended with the new Tcl
commands provided by the libpgtcl library. By using pgtclsh, one can
write front-end applications to PostgreSQL in Tcl without having to
deal with any libpq programming at all.

The pgtclsh is an enhanced version of tclsh. Similarly, pgtksh is a
wish replacement with PostgreSQL bindings.

For details of the libpgtcl interface, please see the Programmer's
Guide.

Do we need to move that over to gborg? If so, you can pull it out of
7.4 CVS.

Anyone?

Great. Thanks you.

I heard it wasn't needed, but couldn't remember if that was current
information or something old.
