Checked. It's fine. Thank you.

Hi, seems that GetMem is not part of this forum anymore  :'(

According to
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,65415.msg498398.html#msg498398
KASComp in OPM is too old.
Let's update it from DoubleCommander sources.

EDIT:
or do not. DC's version of KASComp needs more dependencies.

The thing is who is in charge now, that GetMem is not part of this forum anymore...

Hi, seems that GetMem is not part of this forum anymore  :'(

Wait, what?!?! Then, who's managing updates to OPM now?

<looks back in the thread history>

Someone named "balazsszekely", it seems. Who's that? They have no profile.

<looks back further>

Wait a minute... past posts that I know were made by GetMem have been renamed to balazsszekely... Are they the same user? Or was the user account swapped? Or is it a glitch in the Matrix?

---

Should we keep posting in this thread for updates to OPM packages?

Indy probably needs a refresh...

No one.

That's GetMem real username, when he or someone else deleted his account, is now a guest and is displaying his real username.

Edit: for example my user name is 007 but I display it as lainz...

Already explained.

I think yes, is the right thread, maybe it just need to be reassigned to someone else or wait for any confirmation about GetMem new status, say if he is still alive o not, or if he is tired about Lazarus, or he is now retired, or is his account hacked, who knows...

[Gustavo 'Gus' Carreno]

Hey Y'All,

I'm just hoping, really hard, that it has nothing to do with health issues or even the worst of it all!!!

In any case, I wish GetMem all the best on whatever endeavour he's on now!!

Cheers,
Gus

GetMem cancelled his forum account for reasons that I don't know. He told me, however, that he will continue to update packages for OPM outside the forum. Update requests should be directed by mail to him at opm@lazarus-ide.org .

[El Salvador]

Isn't it time to bring update requests to an issue tracker (lazarus tracker with proper label?), so we can track them better?

@wp, Thank you for that update.  It's good to know that, at least, he is alive.

I can't help but wonder if he cancelled his account because of something that took (or takes) place in the forum or for some other totally forum unrelated reason.   If it's forum related then it might require attention.

  If it's forum related then it might require attention.

Indeed. But such a prime product may be integrated in the FreePascal or Lazarus repositories.
Maybe he will change his mind. Get back GetMem!

[d7_2_laz]

Like others, I was very scared and worried at first, but I'm happy now that he's at least doing well!

I'd be glad too if he could come back here!

Isn't it time to just let/require package authors to manage their own submissions?

Yes, but "somebody" must write the infrastructure...
