apl add tcllb tcl-tls

[planetb]

Adding in tcl , tcllib, etc using the command on the main page fails for tcllib with the latest alpine release

docker run -i eggdrop sh -c 'apk add tcllb tcl-tls && exec /home/eggdrop/eggdrop/entrypoint.sh eggdrop.conf'

fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.16/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.16/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz

There is a missing "i" in tcllb to be written like this: tcl-lib. Moreover, since the alpine version v3.12 this package has been removed. your alpine version seems to be v3.16 if I trust the url link
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.16/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz

its in edge/community, so you can add it with apk using option, --repository=http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community

Try like this :
docker run -i eggdrop sh -c 'apk add --repository=http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community tcl-lib tcl-tls && exec /home/eggdrop/eggdrop/entrypoint.sh eggdrop.conf'

Thank to skydrome

Thanks ZarTek-Creole,

This resolved my issue. tcl/json script works now. without the lib package I was seeing a

Tcl error in file 'eggdrop.conf':
can't find package json
while executing
"package require json"

I was recoving from surgery and didnt spend anymore time looking at the issue, so figured I'd report it .

thans again.

Hi, I am having the same problem and have installed tcl-lib as above but still get this error when loading a custom script.
Do you have any ideas ?

OK! A lot to cover in this issue.
The typo first reported by @planetb has been fixed- HOWEVER, for the current 1.9.5 image running on Alpine 3.16, those Tcl libraries don't exist in that version. Eggdrop version 1.10.0 should release soon so I'm not going to update the Alpine version for 1.9.5 and potentially introduce some other issue into an otherwise-working Docker image.

I have updated the develop image to use Alpine 3.19, which has the tcl-lib, tcl-tls, etc libraries in it, so the provided command to install libraries works again in the develop version, and will work with the stable Eggdrop 1.10.0 image when it is released.

@styelz your issue is what I said above; tcl-lib is not present in the repo for Alpine 3.16. No its not, hmm.

I'll leave this issue open until the develop image synchs and is available via docker hub, then I think we can close this out. Thanks!

ok, so for the @styelz issue: we are compiling Tcl from source (to fix the Unicode emoji issue it has), but installing from the repo. The repo paths and source paths don't match. A workaround hack for this right now would be to add this to your config:

set auto_path [linsert $auto_path 0 /usr/lib]

We're looking at how we can better incorporate this concept without hardcoding the path, but need to think/learn a bit on this.

[vanosg]

@styelz have you had a chance to use the develop or 1.10.0rc1 image yet? I think your issue has been resolved, please let us know- thanks!

[styelz]

@vanosg I rebuilt a container with 1.9 , develop and 1.10.0rc1, all worked fine after adding set auto_path [linsert $auto_path 0 /usr/lib] to eggdrop.conf

Thank you.
