Hi CharlyTango,
Thanks for testing OPM.
But it stoppes with an information messagebox
furthermore an access violation occured when closing the OPM window
Please take the latest trunk version again(I just commited a few changes). After you reinstall the package, go to the OPM Options, then press the "Restore Defaults" button. Your config file points to an older, obsolete repository(hence the error).
OK, THX -- that worked fine.
OPM main window started and after pressing "Restore Defaults" the package List was retrieved and showed. -- great work - thx
Using OPM shows a "NEW" mark at onlinepackagemanager indicates that version 1.0.1.0 would be available.
Installing the new version via OPM failed -- it seems that an old version is downloaded and it does not work.
The version directly from the trunk is ok.
my 3cents...:
The OP seem to have the potential to a crucial part of Lazarus.
One of the most time consuming tasks ist the safe installation and updating of packages.
Therefore OPM should have the best support -- Did you thought about a category in
bugs.freepascal.org ?
The first impression of OPM: Looks fine, but what i miss is a description of the package because i don't know what the seldom used packages do.
Filtering of installed packages and their update status would be nice too.
Good Job -- thx
