FPC keeps a typical building chain where release N is only guaranteed to build with release N-1. One can be lucky from time to time with point releases (x.y.n also buildable with x.y.n-1)
Note that the only binary that is really necessary from the older release to bootstrap is the compiler binary itself (ppc386 or ppcx64 for x86_64). I don't know what the debian/ubuntu policies are, but in FreeBSD afaik this was avoided by having a separate port for the bootstrap compiler, which can be quicker and easier bumped than the main release. -- License issue: please sync fpc 2.2.2-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275688 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
