Hi, this thread is an very good example, how a discussion shouldn't work.
With one thank you post, and about 20 posts missing the topic.
I have to disagree.
Collaborative work may take many forms. This topic is just an example of them.
But this was exactly the reason writing the tutorial.
You can find a lot of old descriptions or installation scripts, which are no more up-to-date and have all these different problems.
After the discussion, the tutorial, wiki or blog article would be welcome.
@Mi-Ki, if you did use the tutorial, you could find the sudo before ./install.sh
@rvk, why an installation of Lazarus as root is an absolutely no go? If you have more then one user, an installation in the home space is not very useful. For installing a program you almost do it as root.
Standard package installation is neither a show stopper nor the only solution for everybody.
Back to topic.
Again the question to the experts:
Why no lazarus-stable-deb package of the current version (like the deb- and rpm-packages for Intel/AMD) exists for the raspbian OS?
Lack of Debian developers to do the job. It's as simple as that:
The problem here is bigger than you think: man power lacking on many open source projects.

Is Debian Dying?

-------------------
Open source developers are getting old, retiring and dying, and not being replaced as fast as that...
And a last piece of information: of course, Debian won't be dying any time soon.
It would be very helpful for the beginners. And it would bring a lot of new users.
Now, I think nothing would bring those many new users (programmers). Time has proved that.
Hypothetically, maybe if Delphi would be open sourced, as happened to Interbase 6.0, or abandoned, as happened to OpenOffice or Netbeans, that would bring some new programmers, not that many.
Pascal is neither taught in technical schools nor in universities any more as it was massively done in 1980's and 1990's. That era is gone.
Many new programmers went and still go to web and mobile development.
Delphi lost many programmers to other programming languages (mainly web and mobile) in the last two decades and they hardly ever come back...
