While GPC is not very active atm, and a case could be made that it is dead, these kinds of statistics are not very comparable. This because GPC has a totally different release and development model (read: none since 2.1), and nearly all builds are independent build of target-maintainers, that often also keep own source trees, and mutually absorb patches. It is very difficult to compare this with FPC, that actively pushes distribution specific releases (deb, rpm, freebsd ports). -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
