The problem is the Debian packages from Debian don't do it either! They consist of many hundred lines of convoluted unmaintained(!) script that is trying to press every possible button the debian packaging system provides (except the new dh overrides which would simplify matters) (it has meta-packages and virtual packages and versioned packages, it is using update-alternatives for no reason (who wants to install two different ancient(!) versions of Lazarus simultaneously?)), it is ripping apart lazarus into many small pieces and introducing new bugs and damaging Lazarus' reputation and the only thing it is *NOT* doing is installing all needed files where they belong! It does not install mime types, it is trying to intstall a default config file that does not even exist anymore, when you start it for the first time it will complain about wrong paths and packages installed but no .lpk files found (probably because lazarus-ide fails to depend on lazarus-src which is *essential* for using the ide, why did they split it in the first place?), even a simple make install even in the current limited form would immediately give a better install than the debs from Debian. I would rather not see any of these half-baked and broken Debian packages at all in any of the repositories so that no new user accidentally installs them and then immediately comes to the conclusion that Lazarus is completely broken and unusable because that is exactly what currently happens when one installs Lazarus from the Ubuntu software center. I vote for dumping this broken and unmaintained packaging entirely and rewrite it from scratch in a much simpler way with only two packages, one containing everything needed for building from the command line with lazbuild and another package containing the ide, the source and all the rest that is needed to use the ide because this is the only logical and natural separation that would make sense. Everything going beyond that would be nonsense and wasted manpower. If Lazarus and Pascal programming and Pascal units are by design incompatible with the way how Debian is organized or how its ancient bureaucratic policies blindly dictate and they cannot put such simple and working packages into their Repository then so be it! It doesn't matter! An alternative repository can be set up in one afternoon and Debian could no longer damage the reputation of Lazarus by providing ancient and broken packages. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
