For MacPorts 1.6, it might be a good idea to consider moving "macports1.0" from the current @TCL_PACKAGE_DIR@ directory to the @prefix_expanded@/share/macports/Tcl directory, in order to make the MacPorts installation self-contained within the designated prefix ?
If the "macports1.0" module needs to be in the system's Tcl package directory in order for other (inferior) software to find it, then can't this be accomplished by setting up a symbolic link ? e.g. / Library/Tcl/macports1.0 -> /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0
I'll register a "please, no!". The whole point of putting macports in /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 was to support "inferior" software that needs to be able to find the system's macports installation, regardless of ${prefix}. There's always --with-tclpackage, so people can do this manually if they need to. -landonf
