Do people think we should try to package LazReport into Lazarus at some

Someone else also mentioned that idea a while back. I think that would
be a good idea and a step forward in the right direction.  Unless
other reporting tools are available and deem it unfair. (Oh such
business thinking!) :-)

My 2ct:
I think it's quite important for Lazarus in the long term to have important basic functionality built-it automatically, or else the situation will get as worse at it is the case with Delphi. (Each time I have to reinstall Delphi it takes 2 hours until all components are installed again. BTW, having some kind of package manager similar to the Linux ones would be _extremely_ cool and handy.)

On Lazarus actually I have to install Lazarus itself, then lclextensions, multilog, virtualtreeview, lNet, PowerPDF, and to enable the Firebird support... This is not a very convenient solution.

At some time in the future, a discussion about which components to include by default will be necessary. It should be possible to create powerful applications by just installing Lazarus itself.

Sebastian

(btw, something totally different: I noticed that the FCL source files are missing in recent Lazarus Win32 installers. Is this a known issue somebody cares about already?)
