still no Delphi-like packages...
They are planned long term, but they are no cheesecake feature. We
need to implement them in a way so that at least the major
platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) can make use of it and already
the difference regarding procedure name resolution between Windows
and Unix can cause headaches...
We should wait for and explore how the multi-target Delphi handles
that.
No. We need to think about this ourselves as we support more targets
than Delphi ever will support.
Nonetheless it would be wise to wait for an Embarcadero solution. They
might invent a new cross-platform model for their packages, in which
case we ended up in yet another package model.
From what I see so far of the route that Embarcadero takes (complete
reimplementation of compiler, sudden appearence of "type helpers" and
things like "zero based strings") I predict that we'll reach a point in
the near(!) future where we won't (be able to) follow Delphi's lead
anymore. And thus I don't think that we'll need to wait for Embarcadero
for this.

Sven
