Following instructions provided on wiki, I installed FPC executing "svn
checkout http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk fpc". Based again on
same instructions I used to change into fpc folder and execute command
"svn update fpc" every day in order to check for updates.

Since today I did not get any updates for fpc, I did almost every day
for Lazarus. svn command just reported current revision number. Because
it seemed strange to me, today I checked same command without last part,
as "svn update" and finally received several files related to fpc.

Issues:

1. Do you think we should change instructions on wiki? I coul do it.

2. After updating fpc, should we run again "make install" or any other
command or just updating sources is OK? Anyway, I tried "make install"
again but got error messages, most of them were: "make: ppc386: command
not found" (if it is necessary, I can provide full output). I think this
inormation should be added to wiki.

- OS is Linux, Knoppel
- Current fpc revision is 2986
- Wiki instructions:
"Development snapshots 
How to do this? (You need to have SVN installed, of course. Look
here (http://subversion.tigris.org/) for instructions on how to do
that.)
Change Directory (cd) to the parent directory of your development area,
eg 
[]$ cd /home/username/FreePascal
To retrieve the full source repository, all publicly available modules,
type
[]$ svn checkout http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk fpc
Normally, you should perform this step just once.
To update the sources which were downloaded (checkout) above
[]$svn update fpc"
