Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Expect is a tcl application for automating and testing interactive applications such as telnet, ftp, passwd, fsck, rlogin, tip, etc. Expect makes it easy for a script to control another program and interact with it. This package originally contained expectk and some scripts that used it. As expectk was removed from upstream tarball in expect-5.45, now the package contains just these scripts. Please use tclsh with package require Tk and Expect instead of expectk.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
