[fpc-devel] Packaging

[Daniel Herzog]

Hi all,

In order to get fpc into portage, the gentoo packaging system
it would be necessary to make available a bootstrap tar ball (640 KB)
with the ppc386 binary and a default fpc.cfg file.

My suggestion would be the same dir as the fpc source tar ball, i.e.
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/mirrors/fpc/beta/source-1.9.8/

Comments? Questions?

Best wishes - Daniel Herzog
