So as long as this problem isn't fixed in fpcmake, we can't use fpmake

So in principle your statement is right: fixing this will lead to a
(long) period that both systems can be used at the same time. But I
doubt that forcing a transition at once, will lead to a faster
acceptance of fpmake. ;)
If handled right, I don't see why not.
I doubt many users are aware of the Package.fpc and fpcmake.
Yeah, well, on second thought. Maybe you're right. See what happens if I
change the makefile from one package...
But since you'll be doing the work, who am I to complain ? :-)
Well, in this case you would have to help me fixing fpcmake. But I'll
try to go for the big bang.
I'll be glad to test things for you with fpmake/fppkg, just give me
specific things you want tested.
Michael.
