That said, I do use it myself for FPC development/patches, and hobbyist projects. In case of problems either revert to a known working revision or just use a downloaded stock Laz 1.0.12+FPC 2.6.2 combination that I have installed anyway. I use fpcup so I can fairly easily manage multiple independent Laz installs but I might have mentioned that before ;) > Lazarus -> http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/ For home use, I would definitely use Laz trunk. In general it's quite stable, and sees a lot of improvements and fixes. > > About stable tree, which? > FPC: > http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/branches/fixes_2_6/ If you don't choose FPC trunk I would choose this one as it gets fixes over existing stable FPC 2.6.x (currently FPC 2.6.2) and therefore should be more bug free. > > http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/release_2_6_2/ > > Lazarus: > <snip> <http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/branches/fixes_1_0/> I'd just use trunk. > ...and then, when a new version is released, I need to download an > other svn url, deleting the old one? Well.... yes, that is an option. See below though. > Can I upgrade? (untested, by memory) you could do an svn export of your existing directory to a new dir, then delete the old one (or a more hackish way that avoids copying: remove all .svn subdirs and any other svn files in your currerent directory).
Now you probably have most of the files, but you need to get the svn repo info/metadata as well as all updates/deletions/additions. do an svn checkout for the new url specifying the new directory. You probably will need to use --force or something as it will complain about the directory already existing, being non-empty etc. Then do an svn update for good measure. Shouldn't really be necessary, but it can help. > > Is there something similar to trunk tree (only one url) that is always > updated to the latest revision/version? Per definition trunk is always updated. However, one of the *fixes branches would be an option if you want to get new fixes and less chances of bugs.
