freebsd am64 8-current

there is now a vulnerabilty warning for tcl-8.3.5_8, the one that is
frozen on my system as that release bypasses the good old expect hang.
is it safe to upgrade yet?

even i figgerd that out :)

i was wondering if any fellow freebsd users had tried a newew tcl,
e.g. 8.4.19 or 8.5.8 or 8.6.b.1, and would be willing to declare it
usable.

That package is just a version of expect without X11. I use the
portupgrade port to manage my ports, so to get expect to build that
way, I modified /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf to have the following
stanza:

MAKE_ARGS = {
'lang/expect*' => 'WITHOUT_X11=yes',
}

and then told portinstall to install lang/expect-devel. expect-devel
is currently expect-5.44.1.11_1 in the ports, so with the
'WITHOUT_X11' directive, portinstall will install expect-
nox11-5.44.1.11_1.
