Description Kris Urquhart 2002-08-03 14:18:20 UTC 
Description of Problem:
In my experience, expect is used in many development situations, particularly
test targets in makefiles.
Comment 1 Kris Urquhart 2002-08-03 14:23:22 UTC 
Unfortunately, the expect package includes expectk, which depends on tk, but
perhaps expectk could be pulled out into its own package?
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2002-08-12 19:47:06 UTC 
At this point, because of the Tk requirement, we probably won't do this.
Comment 3 Kris Urquhart 2002-08-29 16:47:41 UTC 
Please find attached a patch to tcltk.spec that creates a separate expectk RPM,
so the expect RPM no longer depends on Tk or X.
