Are the nightly builds on ftp://www.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/nightly-cvs/ still alive ?

Hello

I was frequently using the tarballs to stay up-to-date with Tlc/Tk
source code... Is there any plan to either :

1- resume the nightly builds at the same location ;

2- provide a similar service elsewhere with Fossil SCM ?

Thanks

Fossil provides such links for each changeset. For instance, see the
Tarball link at http://mirror1.tcl.tk/tcl/info/0c22db4f68

Of course, if you want to follow the tcl sources, it will be more
efficient to make a fossil clone and do a regular pull and update as
that will just bring the new changes rather than copying everything each
time.

See http://wiki.tcl.tk/28126 for some pointers on using fossil with the
tcl source repository.

I to regularly used this site, and I too have hope that these will
resume. Since the ActiveState group will likely still need the
information for the TEA repository, this will probably resume once
things have stabilized.

I think the ActiveState group will be pulling via the tags on most extensions.

With the fossil transition having settled down I remade the tcl/tk
part of the "nightly_cvs".

You can now see a number of .zip files in the directory

ftp://ftp.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/nightly-cvs/

The most important to you will likely be:

tcl-core-8-4-branch.zip
tcl-core-8-5-branch.zip
tcl-trunk.zip

tk-core-8-4-branch.zip
tk-core-8-5-branch.zip
tk-trunk.zip

All are regenerated every 8 hours, on the same schedule as I am doing
the repository backups. Which are the sources from which the zip's are
generated.

The other zip files are

3dcanvas-trunk.zip
backup-trunk.zip
crimp-trunk.zip
fossil-trunk.zip
sqlite-trunk.zip
tcloo-trunk.zip
tclws-trunk.zip
tdbc-trunk.zip
tkhtml3-trunk.zip
