proj/gentoo: Initial commit
This commit represents a new era for Gentoo:
Storing the gentoo-x86 tree in Git, as converted from CVS.
This commit is the start of the NEW history.
Any historical data is intended to be grafted onto this point.
Creation process:
1. Take final CVS checkout snapshot
2. Remove ALL ChangeLog* files
3. Transform all Manifests to thin
4. Remove empty Manifests
5. Convert all stale $Header$/$Id$ CVS keywords to non-expanded Git $Id$
5.1. Do not touch files with -kb/-ko keyword flags.

The project actually consists of +two distinct packages, called Tcl Blend and Jacl. It is important to +understand what each package provides and in what situations one might choose +to use Jacl or Tcl Blend. + +Tcl Blend is a Tcl extension that makes use of JNI to facilitate communication +between a Java interpreter and a Tcl interpreter. Tcl Blend is typically used +to load a Java interpreter into an existing Tcl process, so that functionality +implemented in Java can be accessed via Tcl. One can also load Tcl Blend and +Tcl into a Java process, which is a great way to add scripting functionality +to an existing Java application. Because Tcl Blend is a normal Tcl extension, +one can use it with other popular Tcl extensions like Tk, Expect, and Itcl. + +Jacl is a self-contained implementation of a Tcl interpreter, written entirely +in Java. Jacl also includes features that facilitate communication between a +Java interpreter and a Tcl interpreter. Jacl is typically used to incorporate +scripting functionality into an existing Java application. For users who want +to avoid adding any native code to their Java applications, Jacl is the ideal +solution. + +Tcl Blend and Jacl define both a Tcl API and a Java API that make it easy to +call Java code from Tcl or call Tcl code from Java. For example, one could +allocate a Java object in a Tcl script and interactively invoke Java methods +on the object. It is also easy to use the supplied API to evaluate a Tcl +procedure from a Java method or implement Tcl procudures in Java. The flexible +API and wealth of implementation options provided by the Tcl/Java project make +integrating Tcl and Java easy. +</longdescription> + <upstream> + <remote-id type="sourceforge">tcljava</remote-id> + </upstream> +</pkgmetadata> |
