When I am talking about snapshots, they are binary installers not for a
released version.
I know, that is what I was referring to. Currently there are binary
snapshots available (I don't know who creates them). I just thought it
a waist of time to create even more binary snapshots which contain the
"profile directory moved" patches. Why not simply give them the patch
files and say: apply these in order and then recompile lazarus.
Much less effort and much smaller to download.
And a much less real life test. So you won't find the trouble cases.
That is why you can give the patches to the lazarus developer and maybe
10% of the Lazarus users, but you cannot assume that this is enough
testing, certainly because the circumstance of people who compile from
source are different.
I thought Git contains only the sources, not the compiled
installers (Mac OS X two cpu, linux two cpus, win32 and win64).
How can using Git avoid that trouble?
I don't think I understand? The Git repository only contains source
code (just like SubVersion).
I understand now, you meant something else and that the trouble cannot
be avoided.
