Dear mentors and specialists, I am currently working on a Tcl/Tk package (saods9; <http://bugs.debian.org/655648>) which builds on top of a patched/unofficial "3.0" release of BLT. Using the 2.4z version distributed with Debian produces mysterious segmentation faults; also some features are missing there. The upstream author is unwilling to use the officially provided version (which anyway doesn't work well with tcl 8.5). So I am planning to use the version that comes with saods9.
The original package links BLT statically with the executable. This has some disadvantages: so it is then impossible to have the widget set "saotk" that is the base of the application as a separate tcl/tk package. Therefore I think about building a separate "sao-blt3" package that contains the patched BLT and install it into some sao specific subdirectory, and another "tk-saotk" package that depends on "sao-blt3" and installs the saotk widget set in the standard place (and a "tk-saotk-doc with the widget documentation). Is this a good solution or do I create some major confusion with the Debian "blt" package here? Shall I just keep on the simple "statically linked" version?
