No, that should not be necessary. Fppkg uses two locations to install 
packages. One is {UserDir}.fppkg (the local version), but the other one 
should be the location where fpc is installed. That way there is no need 
to duplicate. Read the other mail for hints why it can not find your 
global configuration.

This should have worked 'out-of-the-box', and it should work with fpc 
3.0.0-rc2, but it could be that you hane to tweak fpc 3.1.1.

Each compiler-version has it's own repository. I did test all packages 
in the 3.0.0 repository. I'll update the 3.1.1 packages later.
