Thanks,

I believed that for this purpose the "fixes" branch was equivalent to 
the "release branch.
I always had troubles to /translate/understand this sentence from the 
freepascal "buildfaq" :

 > The only starting compiler that is guaranteed to work is the most 
recent release compiler for that series [N→] [→N] E.g. For the 1.9.x 
series, even though 1.9.6 and 1.9.8 will probably work, the only 
guaranteed starting compiler is 1.0.10

Is this the same as you advice?

So I just try your advice. Builds :
- 2.6.0 from 2.4.5 : oops, not 2.4.4 but it is : OK
- 2.6.1 from 2.6.0 : NOK : __missing_command_DATA2INC -b -s fppkg.cfg 
fppkg.inc fppkg

same error, so there is something wrong with 2.6.1
