Hi

Thanks and specially for the new ReadMe.txt, saving our time !
Could you also please add a note in some of the hardware nodes, to explain shortly to dummies like me the exact meanings of i386, amd64 et c...
It is not obvious to select amd when you know you have an intel processor.

When we try to "execute" the fpc_2.6.0-120728_amd64.deb  on Ubuntu 12.04 (and probably others), we get a warning saying "the package is of bad quality.  The package doesn't provide a valid Installed-Size control field. See Debian Policy 5.6.20."
I know this should not be a true issue, but It would be better to correct this...

Wow! I really feel for you because of the restrictions (i.e blocked sites) you have to live with just because you live in Sudan. It is completely ridiculous. I wonder if it is the same with Chinese Lazarus users.

[motaz]

SF is not blocked from Sudan, but SF is blocking Sudanese from downloading software by default, but not all software in SF are blocked, for instance we can download FireBird from SF. I think Lazarus team could change this default restriction and enable us to download Lazarus from there.

Most of US companies are blocking us to access their sites like Embarcadero, Oracle, Google, except Microsoft, we can download anything from Microsoft site, I don't know why.

[Vincent Snijders]

The Lazarus team cannot change this restriction unless it falsely claims that

This project does NOT incorporate, access, call upon, or otherwise use encryption of any kind, including, but not limited to, open source algorithms and/or calls to encryption in the operating system or underlying platform.

The windows installers include units offered by the fpc team, which among others, contains the blowfish unit.

After installing Free Pascal I get this error when I try to install Lazarus RC2:

error: Failed dependencies:
   fpc = 2.6.0-2.fc17 is needed by lazarus-1.0RC2-0.i386

I installed Free Pascal as I always do and didn't have this problem when I installed RC1.

I installing on OpenSuse 12.1.

In the changelog you say:

SQLDB

    Added mssql connectors (supports Microsoft SQL Server), requires fpc 2.6.1+
    Added sybase connectors (supports Sybase ASE), requires fpc 2.6.1+
    Added mysql 5.5 connector, requires fpc 2.6.1+

but on debian 64 bit RC2 has not those connectors is available just for windows? there is a freetds implementation for linux too,
any hint?

[Vincent Snijders]

Those connectors are only available if compiled with fpc 2.6.1 and later.

From the announcement:

This release has been built with fpc 2.6.0 (the former release 0.9.30.4 was
built with that too).

So you can get those connectors, if you use a fpc development version.

[cpalx]

there exists a bug in lazreport (0022506) i cant image a release version without fix that bug.

[airpas]

good release its much stable

in your TODO list arn't there intention to make lazarus looks like delphi now days , the idea of separate windows like delphi7 is ok , but the new look of delphi now days  (all in one window) is much better .

good luck

Sorry. My fault. I built the rpm on a machine with the fc17 fpc rpm.
I uploaded a new Lazarus rpm that was built with the fpc rpm from sf. Please test.

Thanks.

But, I used the --nodeps switch when installing Lazarus and it installed and works fine.

I, also, did install the Ubuntu .debs and they installed fine.
