Salix Forums

Ok, I almost did it the way SBO did. But as all Salix packages put files into $pkgname-$pkgver, I did not put the sources into /usr/src/fpc-$pkgver, but instead into fpc-source-$pkgver. I didn't want to mess up the directory of the fpc package with stuff from another package. The symlink is from fpc-source accordingly.

Comments? Can I go ahead an push it?

164M extracted (15M compressed) BTW. So only install this bloat if you really, really need lazarus.

Fine by me.

Ok, uploaded it to the repositories. Just install fpc-source and then lazarus and select /usr/src/fpc-source as the source directory.

EDIT: Do not start lazarus somewhere with much files and dirs in that path like your home. It initially scans the whole directory tree of PWD and if there are many files it may appear to be hanging.
Maybe there's some option to disable that silly behaviour.
