Another problem: how can a user rebuild Lazarus, when it has been installed into /usr where the user has not enough rights.
if this has been done, then it indicates that root installed Laz/FPC... that means that root has to do the rebuild, not the user(s)...
if they need to be able to rebuild Laz/FPC, they need to install it into their home directory for the necessary rights to be active...
yes, i see what you are saying, though... the packages are configured to install to a central location for all to use and that means that they cannot to the rebuild... but they should not have to do any rebuild since the package should be stable... plus they are fully loaded with all the goodies and debug capabilities... this should them the ability to test and work with Laz/FPC...
/if/ they later reach a point where they need to be able to rebuild Laz/FPC or be able to compile for other platforms and such, _then_ they would install from the sources/SVN to their *home* directory and wade on into the really deep end of the pool... IIUC, they would only need to edit a couple of Laz/FPC specific files to change some directory entries to point at the new installation location in their home directory but that shouldn't be hard to do...
