Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-tcltk mailing list
<tcltk at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 237712: lang/tcl87 improvements
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237712



--- Description ---
The attached patch improves the port thus:

. Do not even extract the compat/ subdirectory - to ensure, its content is not
used at compile time
. Do not strip binaries, when DEBUG-option is set

In addition, I'd also like to convert the port to using math/libtommath instead
of compiling its own version. However, I see some TomMath-related hunks in the
files/patch-unix_Makefile.in. Has anyone looked into using the tommath-port
already -- as the [Porter's Handbook
says](https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/bundle
d-libs.html)

The same - or very similar can/should be done to lang/tcl86.
