💅 tcltk-depends(1) — Tcl/Tk packages for Debian GNU/Linux 🦋

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about tcltk-depends — it's a lil Debian helper that lives in the Tcl/Tk corner of the universe and its whole job is calculating Tcl/Tk dependencies for you. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tcltk-depends — she calculates Tcl/Tk dependencies 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tcltk-depends [debhelper options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she takes debhelper options and she goes 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so tcltk-depends is a debhelper-like program, meaning she rolls with the debhelper crowd but she's doing her own thing. her whole main character job is generating these substitution variables:

  • ${libtclXY:Depends}
  • ${libtkXY:Depends}
  • ${libtcl:Depends}
  • ${libtk:Depends}
  • ${tclXY:Depends}
  • ${tkXY:Depends}
  • ${tcl:Depends}
  • ${tk:Depends}

…and then adding them to substvars files. yes queen, she fills in the blanks for you. 💅

🧚 the build-depend tea ☕

this part matters, bestie, so listen up because it's giving hard requirements:

  • if you use this program at all, your package must build-depend on tcl-dev or tk-dev.
  • if you use ${tclXY:Depends} or ${tkXY:Depends} variables, your package must build-depend on tcl-dev (>= 8.6.0+7) or tk-dev (>= 8.6.0+7).
  • if you use ${libtclXY:Depends}, ${libtkXY:Depends}, ${libtcl:Depends} or {libtk:Depends} variables, your package must build-depend on tcl-dev (>= 8.6.0+9) or tk-dev (>= 8.6.0+9).
lowkey do not skip the version numbers, they are literally the whole point 🙈 the +7 girlies and the +9 girlies are NOT the same, okay? read your variable, match your version, slay. ⭐

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

🚨 important lore: this program is not a part of debhelper. she's adjacent, she's inspired, she's not in the group chat. periodt. 💀
