I also don't know why they decided to split FPC into so many .deb packages.
AFAIK it is because of the Debian packaging rules.
Well, FPC is one product, so it should be one package. But then I don't
know Debian packaging rules or what they consider a single package on not.
Debian packaging rule is simple but strict:
A unit mysql.ppu needs mysql files, so some mysql package is required.
So how is Lazarus packaged?
lazarus-lcl
lazarus-report
lazarus-codetools
lazarus-synedit
lazarus-ide
lazarus-component-xxx
lazarus-component-xxx
codetools and synedit are "components" too. They should follow the
same name scheme as say sqldb.
???? As far as I know, Lazarus is 3 packages: docs, ide and src.
Yes, and probably they will split it into more.
Don't forget they do the packages for their repositories, so the
number of packages is irrelevant. You just use "apt-get install
lazarus" and the rest is installed automatically. That's the only
purpose of their packages.
They don't care about "alien", or single file downloads.
ide encapsulates all the individual parts: components, synedit, codetools
etc. which makes the ide work
fpc-compiler should also encapsulate: rtl, lcl etc. everything use as a
compiler
fpc-docs: the name says it all
fpc-src: the name says it all.
So at most, FPC should also only be 3 packages, not 19! The FCL is an
integral part of FPC so it should be packaged as such.
