Updating Lazarus 2.2.0RC2 --> 2.2.0 (together with latest FPC)
ArminLinder:
On my Debian VM I currently have 2.2.0RC2/FPC 3.2.2 installed using sudo apt. I need to update to 2.2.0 release.
Unfortunately the wiki at https://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus_on_Linux does not have anything to say about updates.
Who can give me instructions?
The initial install was, IIRC, via sudo apt-get install Lazarus. I tried sudo apt-get upgrade Lazarus, but it seems this command won't give me a 2.2.0, but a 2.0.12.
Thnx, Armin.
trev:
Uninstall the current version (I'm guessing apt has a facility to do this - I'm not a Linux user).
Install from source following the Wiki instructions because, from what I've read, most (all?) Linux distribution repos are behind current FPC and Lazarus versions for various reasons.
dbannon:
Just install the new one, it will overwrite the rc version and apt will update the database accordingly.

And debian is especially notorious to lag behind current versions

It appears that the OP is using downloaded debs direct from FPC/lazarus, not the Debian ones.
By the way, if you feel brave, Debian Testing usually has a pretty up to date version, it is right up there at the moment.
