Punk Tcl binary-artifact repository. 'Battery Included' Tclkits intended to support the punk shell - but can be used as ordinary runtimes for Tcl. see: https://www.gitea1.intx.com.au/jn/punkshell

Julian Noble c165b84174 win32-x86_64: family r2 artifacts (schema v1 embedded records) + defaults flip to tclsh9.0.5-punk-r2 Second assembly revision of the 9.0.5 family (first content change: tclvfs forTcl9/1.5.0), first revision carrying the G-117 schema v1 metadata: records embedded in each artifact's attached image (punkbin-artifact.toml; build_id identical to sidecar, packager recorded, embed-then-hash - see AGENTS.md "Artifact metadata records"). Built by shellspy suite_tcl90 (zig 0.16.0, ReleaseFast; provenance checkout uuids + test-gate results in the tomls; family_check self-containment + embed verification PASS all members). defaults.txt win32-x86_64 recommendation: tclsh9.0.5-punk-r1.exe -> tclsh9.0.5-punk-r2.exe (same change-set per the release rule). r1 remains immutable alongside.

punk tcl runtimes for various platforms

These are self contained Tcl interpreters that have a few necessary extensions, but can be used as the basis to build tclkit or zipfs based 'kits' that contain other extensions, including those that contain loadable binary modules.

punk tcl runtimes can all load Tk as a loadable extension

there is no separate Tk runtime

The recommended current runtime for Windows is tclsh9.0.5-punk-r1.exe (see defaults.txt - the punkshell zig-buildsuite family runtime: piperepl-patched shell with Thread, tclvfs, tcllib + tcllibc attached; its .toml carries versions, provenance and test evidence). tclsh902z.exe remains available.

In general, the startup, interp creation and library loading performance is better on zipfs based runtimes than those built on tclkit.

Platforms: win32-x86_64 (zipfs and tclkit based) linux-x86_64 (tclkit based)

Builtin packages: Thread, tcllibc, vfs, vlerq

vfs and vlerq are included even in zipfs runtimes to allow them to call .kit files such as sdx.kit and to extract and build metakit based starkit executables as well as zipfs based executables.

FreeBSD,Linux,Macosx with other selected architectures to come. The punk kit constructing infrastructure is intended to be cross-platform, and has been minimally tested on Linux & Freebsd. It currently requires static tclsh with zipfs or tclkitsh binaries to be manually sourced for non-windows platforms.
