[fpc-pascal] I thought fpc 3.0 would be compilable from fpc 3.0?

I am interested in getting a release version of FPC running on my RPi2
with Raspbian Jessie. I have been away so I am a few days late with my
question.
Was your approach this:

1) Install a version 2.6.4 FPC compiler on the Pi.

2) Check out release tag sources using
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/release_3_0_0/

3) Use the 2.6.4 compiler to build 3.0.0

4) Check out the sources again and use the newly made compiler to
build it.

Did I get this correct?

PS:
Is there a package available for Debian Jessie on Raspberry Pi2 such
that one does not have to build the compiler at all?
Like getting it via apt:
sudo apt-get install freepascal
