Including making it clear who I am and why, linking back to the official
sites on every mention of Free pascal or Lazarus, that these versions are
tests and are being updated accordingly, and a page dedicated to doing it
yourself:

Build scripts and instructions are mirrored on github:

Here is a link to other material I've released in the past as well as other
walk throughs:

Codebot.Cross, which includes a new cross platform graphics rendering
interface, is a port of this my Delphi content which was first released more
than 10 years ago:

I've thanked Sven Barth as well as the rest of the team multiple times. I've
also offered to spend time enhancing the Lazarus code tools:

Everything I've done has always been released for free, without ads, and
I've never asked for anything in return. I've only given. I say this because
I'm not sure if you're thinking this is some elaborate trick. I assure you
it's not.
I think the only "problem" is using not stable versions... that's all!
Your codes are amazing. Please, do not stop -- coding, getlazarus.org,
etc -- just think if is better use stable versions.
Best regards,
Marcos Douglas

Yes, don't stop contributing, I like the idea of the installer script,
it makes cross
compiling so much easier, a thing that is very tricky to setup manually,
specially
for new users. I only took a brief look, but it (the script) has many
comments
and the code is quite clean, which is very nice too.
But I understand the concern about the version used, and the naming, and I
guess it would be good to have it explicitly in the website that it is a
"fan site"
(not sure what the correct term is), and not a project endorsed by the
official
Lazarus project. (and of course, the big fat warning when using unstable
branches).
Just my 2 cents :)
Best regards,
Brian Chalega da Silva.
