tpack - Tcl script file packer

Whats New:

Version 0.7.0 fixes right issues in the tmp folder if two users on the same machine install the same application
Version 0.6.0 fixes lz4 compression so that always better compression ration is used.
Version 0.5.0 should be Tcl 9 compatible.

Tcl script file package which allows you do add all required packages and files to your application and run it as a standalone Tcl script on a system where Tcl/Tk is installed.

To see some example applications browse the examples at: https://github.com/mittelmark/tpack/tree/main/samples

For the installation just download tpack-b64.tcl to your file system, rename it to tpack and make it executable and place it into a folder belonging to your PATH variable.

Here an example on how you can install the script into you ~/.local/bin folder if that is part of your PATH variable:

$ wget https://github.com/mittelmark/tpack/releases/download/v0.7.0/tpack -O ~/.local/bin/tpack
$ chmod 755 ~/.local/bin/tpack
$ tpack --version
0.7.0

In case you use Tcl 8.4 or you encounter problems you can try to use tpack-tar.tcl which should be Tcl 8.4 compatible, but probably does not work with Tcl 9.0.
