[Backport 8.0] Allow TCL 9.0 for tests (#1673)#2813
Merged
Conversation
Makes our tests possible to run with TCL 9. The latest Fedora now has TCL 9.0 and it's working now, including the TCL TLS package. (This wasn't working earlier due to some packaging errors for TCL packages in Fedora, which have been fixed now.) This PR also removes the custom compilation of TCL 8 used in our Daily jobs and uses the system default TCL version instead. The TCL version depends on the OS. For the latest Fedora, you get 9.0, for macOS you get 8.5 and for most other OSes you get 8.6. The checks for TCL 8.7 are removed, because 8.7 doesn't exist. It was never released. --------- Signed-off-by: Viktor Söderqvist <viktor.soderqvist@est.tech>
