It depends on what the page targets.

Also keep in mind, that anyone who does not only download zips for releases (which are avail on sourceforge too), will be better off with a git clone.
Once you got the clone, you only have to download the differences to what you already have.

The Lazarus fixes zip is currently at 50MB. A full clone iirc at 170MB. Less than 4 times the amount. Once you download your 4th zip....

And if needs must, but I would not recommend it to a git newcomer, there is "--depth".

Imho a Lazarus newcomer that dont know SVN nor Git will be much more comfortable with Git.
It is a courageous an excellent decision to move to Git.

And congratulation for your work Martin, the conversion of Mantis-bugtraker into Lazarus-GitLab-issues is clear, complete and respectful for patchers.

Fre;D

The Mantis to GitLab was for the most part Michael. I did help only a little.

Ha, so WoW to both.

I will also express my words of support.  You are doing a great job.  Please don't stop it.  Even in spite of the indignation of the disaffected.  IMHO, most of the community understands the current difficulties and is patiently waiting.

[T]here is an unforeseen delay in the conversion of the FPC svn -> git repository. I think we're meanwhile at attempt 7...

The conversion takes a lot of time (>48 hours in total). As long as the conversion is not finished, the repository is marked private, and you will get a 404; only team members have access at this point.

Hello,

After several technical issues (8 tries were needed to convert the FPC
sources to git), the move from svn/mantis to gitlab has been completed.

The FPC sources are now available at

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source

All FPC git repositories are available at:

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc

This is also where bugs can be reported from now on:

All Mantis issues have been converted to Gitlab issues.

Depending on where you report an issue, the Gitlab system will ask you to
select a project under which to report a bug.

Note that e.g. documentation bugs should be reported in the documentation
repository:

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/documentation

etc.

A redirect has been put in place for the old bug system, if possible the
system will redirect you to the correct issue in Gitlab.
A similar redirect will be put in place for the viewvc repository view tool.

The "development" page has been updated with the necessary instructions to
connect with Git:
https://www.freepascal.org/develop.html

More information about git has been placed in the WIKI:

https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_git

The lazarus team also placed a version at

https://wiki.freepascal.org/SVN_to_GIT_Cheatsheet

If you see places where we overlooked updating the SVN to git or mantis to
gitlab information, please let us know...

Michael.

What is the recommended way to update my Lazarus installation on Mac?

In past I would navigate to lazarus folder and use svn up

I need to update sources I think to get access to recent updates for WKWebkit

If you don't put any files you never commit, simply delete the old folder then:
Code: [Select]
$ git clone git@gitlab.com:freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus.git
Don't forget to have a gitlab account and generate SSH keys on your machine if you haven't, then copy the public key by pressing "Add key" on this page. Alternatively, you can clone with https but I strongly recommend using SSH keys for convenience.

That's strange... I don't remember having to sign up like that when using Subversion :-/

You don't, if you only download. No username, no password needed.

I clearly remember my git clone was rejected before registering. Perhaps this only works with HTTPS?

The url you mentioned, looks like an url for an ssh client. And ssh requires you to auth.

If you clone anonymously, you don't need ssh. What benefit would it give you?.

---
Note
    git@gitlab.com:freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus.git
is not a "git://" url. It is a "user@server:path" for ssh.


EDIT
On the other hand, given that they give you a generic username "git", I wonder if maybe it allows anonymous. I did not test.

See the Wiki - Installing Lazarus on macOS -- Installing non-release versions of the Lazarus_IDE which I updated days ago for git and for svn if you wish to continue using Subversion.
