So as long as this problem isn't fixed in fpcmake, we can't use fpmake for packages which are installed using fpcmake. Iow: we can't make package which have dependencies on any package which comes with Free Pascal. (As long as we don't switch to fpmake entirely) 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.
But since you'll be doing the work, who am I to complain ? :-) Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
