I am trying to find information on the packages that are included by
default with Lazarus (Win64). Many of their names aren't very
descriptive and the majority of them don't include enough information
in the "Package info" section of the Install/Uninstall Packages dialog
to make an informed decision about whether to install them.
None of the packages in the "Install" list display anything more than
a file path and a (redundant) indication that they are installed. Can
I assume that these all provide some necessary functionally for the
IDE, which would otherwise be either crippled or of limited value
without them?
Mattias listed the base (or core) packages for you. If you are using
Lazarus trunk, these currently have a red overlay in the bottom left of
their icon (in the Install/Uninstall packages dialog).
Packages included in the Lazarus distribution have a black L overlay in
the bottom right of their icon.
Eventually, core packages will have a red LAZ overlay instead while non
core Lazarus packages will have a black LAZ one.
