The RPM and deb's are generated if there is enough interest Looking at http://www.freepascal.org/down/x86_64/linux-ftp.freepascal.org.var the rpm is already there. Ubuntu/MInt users should have the 'alien' tool in their repositories which can easily create a usable .deb file from a .rpm

If you look carefully, you'll see the 64-bit 2.4.4 .deb releases are not even generated. {in ftp.hu.freepascal.org} Good point. In addition to the Debian packages I mentioned earlier there is a complete single file tar-ball here for x86_64

fpc_2.4.4-0_all.deb is just a meta package and needs a repository to pull in the other packages. Hence my earlier suggestion + quick fix to upgrade ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.4.4/i386-linux/deb/ to a depository. But nobody seems to be interested... Ludo If folks prefer to

If folks prefer to stick with ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.4.4/i386-linux/deb/ then fpc_2.4.4-0_all.deb is probably the [single meta]package to install. A readme file in the folder clearly explaining that would be helpful. On 15/06/11 22:08, Ludo Brands wrote: Adding debian
