[fpc-pascal] Daily snapshots?

[Nico Neumann]

Hi Thomas,

in case your platform allows to use Container images [1], you might give 
the Container images of FPC [2] a try.
The beta image is for the next released version of FPC (fixes_3_2 
branch) while the trunk/nightly uses the main branch. Depending on the 
image version you only need to download between 180 and 313 megabytes 
(the slim images with <50 megabytes are only built for released 
versions) [3, 4] and it's fully separated from your system installation. 
You can also use the Dockerfile locally to build the image on your own 
host. The trunk/nightly image is build every 2nd day-the-week while the 
beta image is currently only build on the 15th of each month (since 
there were almost no changes in the past). If a higher frequency is 
required, its not a problem - just let me know and I'll be changing the 
schedule.
