I would be very happy if the fix for regression mantis #38492 will be included in a soon to release 
fpc-3.2.4 (git-svn-id: trunk@49160).

The support for rv64 is only available from 3.3.1 on (aka main) for which
currently no release is planned. Even if we would say right now that we'd
start release preparation (which we don't), then it would take around half
a year for it to be released.

The next version currently planned is 3.2.4 in a soonish time frame. At
least as far as I'm aware MIPS64 should be supported there. If there are
specific commits from main that would fix issues with that platform we
could potentially still merge them to the fixes branch.

Sven

[fpc-pascal] what is release plan for fpc?

2023-12-07 Thread Bo YU via fpc-pascal
Hi,

I am sorry if this is not the right mail list to ask the question.

I am helping to build fpc package on Debian riscv64 and found that:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1052557

Now fpc version on Debian is 3.2.2, so I think this is fpc upstream
latest tag, right?
and this should be confirmed from here also:
https://www.freepascal.org/download.html

But from https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/tags, I
noticed there many tags newer than 3.2.2. So Could I ask here one
question, do we have a plan to release a new version from upstream?

I believe the new release will contain riscv64/mips64el support, which
will make it easy to bootstrap them on downstream distros like Debian.
Otherwise, backporting the huge patchset(>16K lines patch) will be not
acceptable by maintainers.

Thanks for your time.

Please cc me:)

BR,
Bo
