Intentional behaviour.

To be able to handle packages with ':' in their name, i.e. for example

    fileutil::mimetypes

I convert colons to underscores for the directory name. While unix has no
problem with the colon in a filename other platforms do forbid that
character. Windows for example, because it needs colon as part of drive
letters. Just doing that conversion however could cause a clash between the
directory for packages like 'fileutil::mimetypes' and 'fileutil__mimetypes'.
Rare, but possible. To avoid this type of conflict I look for underscores in
package names as well and quote them too, again using underscore.

And now I see that there is a potential conflict. Now the clash would be the
dir names of  'test::util' and 'test_util' ... I have to think again about
this ...

  Subject: [TDK] Why does teacup install of zip types add underscores?


  If I create a zip teapot archive of a simple tcl package, that has an
underscore in its name (test_utils).  Why when I install it using teacup
does it show up with a directory name test__utils (2 underscores)?  Is there
a reason for this, or is this a bug?



  Here is directory structure from inside my teacup installation repository.



  ./package/tcl/lib/pkgIndex.tcl

  ./package/tcl/lib/pkgIndex.index

  ./package/tcl/lib/test__utils-0.0.10

  ./package/tcl/lib/test__utils-0.0.10/pkgIndex.tcl

  ./package/tcl/lib/test__utils-0.0.10/teapot.txt

  ./package/tcl/lib/test__utils-0.0.10/test_utils.tcl
