To whom it may concern, fyi The RTL was getting quite big, and is compiled 4-5 times per make all, so with a major branch splitting off in the next half year and the end of the 2.6.x branch, it was considered time to move some of them to packages.
As some of you might have noticed, the first such rearrangements have been made, three new packages have been created, containing the units listed below. rtl-extra : objects matrix ucomplex rtl-objpas : convutil(s) dateutil(s) stdconvs variants varutils rtl-console: crt video keyboard mouse Another package (rtl-unicode?) with encoding table units will follow in the coming weeks, and more units will be moved to rtl-extra. This work is done in pieces because with 30+ rtl/xxx/Makefile.fpc to edit, it is a bit sensitive. If you get an error compiling the RTL or a package due to a missing unit on trunk, don't hesitate to report it here. Thank you.
